此本在杂治中,亦是伤寒毒瓦斯所攻故。凡治伤寒方甚多,其有诸麻黄,葛根,桂枝,柴
胡,青龙,白虎,四顺,四逆二十余方。并是至要者,而药难尽备,且诊候须明悉,别所在
撰大方中,今唯载前四方,尤是急须者耳。其黄膏赤散在辟病条中预合,初觉患便服之,伤
寒,时行,温疫,三名同一种耳,而源本小异,其冬月伤于寒,或疾行力作,汗出得风冷,
至夏发,名为伤寒,其冬月不甚寒,多暖气,及西风使人骨节缓堕受病。至春发,名为时行
。其年岁中有疠气兼挟鬼毒相注,名为温病。如此诊候相似,又贵胜雅言,总名伤寒,世
俗因号为时行,道术符刻,言五温亦复殊,大归终止,是共途也,然自有阳明,少阴,阴毒
,阳毒为异耳。少阴病例不发热,而腹满下痢,最难治也。

这原本收录在杂治篇中,也是因为伤寒毒气所导致的。凡是治疗伤寒的方子很多,其中有诸麻黄汤、葛根汤、桂枝汤、柴胡汤、青龙汤、白虎汤、四顺散、四逆汤等二十余方。这些都是至关重要的,但药物难以全部备齐,而且诊察候脉必须明悉详细,另在撰写的《大方》中记载,这里仅载录前四方,尤其是紧急需要的方子。其中的黄膏、赤散在辟病条目中预先合制,刚觉得患病就服用。伤寒、时行、温疫,这三个名称同属一种疾病,但源头本原略有不同。冬季受寒邪侵袭,或者疾走劳作,出汗后受风冷,到夏季发作,名为伤寒;冬季不太寒冷,多暖气,以及西风使人骨节松弛懈怠而受病,到春季发作,名为时行;当年岁中有疠气夹杂鬼毒相互传染,名为温病。如此诊候相似,又因贵族雅言统称伤寒,世俗因此称为时行,道术符刻之说,讲五温也各不相同,大体归宿终究是殊途同归。然而自有阳明病、少阴病、阴毒、阳毒等不同之处。少阴病的症状是不发热,而腹部胀满、下痢,最难治疗。
附方
《必效方》,治疗天行病一二日:麻黄一大两(去节),加水四升,煮去浮沫,取二升,去渣,放入米一匙,及豉做成稀粥,取强人一碗的量。先做热水澡,淋头百余碗,然后喝粥,厚盖取汗,在夜间服用最佳。

Another prescription: Make large pills and apply moxibustion to the lower part; this is referred to as the method when all other medicinal treatments are exhausted.
Another prescription: Take three sheng of earthworms, add five sheng of water, boil until two and a half sheng remain, and drink it all.
Another prescription: Boil peach bark until it forms a consistency like maltose syrup, wrap it in cotton, and insert it into the lower orifice (anus or vagina).
Another prescription: Take water shield (Nymphoides peltata), crush it, wrap it in cotton, and insert it into the lower orifice; change it five times a day until recovery.
Another prescription: Boak together bark of Zelkova schneideriana (Zhu pi) and Quercus variabilis (Hu pi) to obtain juice with a sticky sugar-like consistency for insertion into the lower orifice; additionally, drinking concentrated decoction of peach bark is most effective.
Another prescription: Crush fresh herb of Duchesnea indica (She mei) to extract juice, take three he, three times a day. Soak dried fruit of Prunus mume (Wu mei) in water to make it concentrated, add cliff honey, and drink frequently.
If the patient has teeth lacking luster, white tongue coating, drowsiness, confusion without awareness of pain or itch, or dysentery, urgent treatment of the lower part is required. Those who do not understand this may only attack the upper part and neglect the lower. Parasites growing in the lower part may eat away at the anus, causing rotting of the anus and exposure of the five zang organs, leading to death. The following is the treatment method.
Take egg white, mix with lacquer, stir well, return to the shell, swallow while tilting the head back; expelling parasites should lead to cure.
Another prescription: Burn horse hooves to ash, grind into fine powder, mix with lard, apply on cotton strips inserted into the lower part several times a day until cured.
Another prescription: Take fifteen Tao Ren (Semen Persicae), two sheng of vinegar, one he of salt, boil to obtain six he, and take orally.
Another prescription: Burn mugwort inside a bamboo tube to fumigate the lower part, allowing smoke to enter; mixing in a small amount of Xiong Huang (Realgar) enhances efficacy. This prescription is suitable for Xi Wen disease, hence adopting local treatment methods.
For cases of continuous bleeding from the lower orifice: Use Wu Tou (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata) 2 liang, Nu Zhen Zi (Fructus Ligustri Lucidi) and Yun Shi (Fructus Tetrastigmateae) each 1 liang, Gui Zhi (Ramulus Cinnamomi) 2 fen; refine honey to make pills the size of paulownia seeds, take 5 pills with water, three times a day.
Prescription for sudden severe pain in the lower part, feeling like bird pecking: Chi Xiao Dou (Semen Phaseoli Uradensis) and Da Dou (Semen Sojae Preparatum) each 1 sheng; crush together, store in two bags, steam until cooked, and sit alternately on them until cured.
This was originally included in miscellaneous treatments because it is caused by pathogenic factors of Shang Han (Cold Damage). There are many prescriptions for treating Shang Han, including Zhu Ma Huang Tang, Ge Gen Tang, Gui Zhi Tang, Chai Hu Tang, Qing Long Tang, Bai Hu Tang, Si Shun San, Si Ni Tang, etc., totaling over twenty prescriptions. These are essential, but herbs are hard to prepare completely, and pulse diagnosis must be clear and detailed; they are recorded in the "Da Fang" compiled separately. Here, only the first four prescriptions are listed, which are urgently needed. The Huang Gao (Yellow Ointment) and Chi San (Red Powder) are prepared in advance under the section on preventing diseases; take them as soon as symptoms appear. Shang Han (Cold Damage), Shi Xing (Seasonal Epidemic), and Wen Yi (Warm Pestilence) share the same nature but have slightly different origins. Contracting cold in winter, or exerting oneself vigorously with sweat exposed to wind and cold, manifesting in summer, is called Shang Han. If winter is not very cold, with warm air and west winds causing joint laxity and susceptibility to disease, manifesting in spring, it is called Shi Xing. If there is epidemic qi mixed with toxic pathogens spreading among people in that year, it is called Wen Bing (Warm Disease). Although diagnoses are similar, aristocratic terminology generally calls them Shang Han, while commoners call them Shi Xing. Daoist texts discuss "Five Wens" differently, but ultimately converge. However, distinctions exist such as Yang Ming disease, Shao Yin disease, Yin Du (Yin Toxin), and Yang Du (Yang Toxin). Shao Yin disease presents without fever but with abdominal fullness and dysentery, making it the most difficult to treat.
Supplementary Prescriptions
"Bi Xiao Fang": Treats Tian Xing (Epidemic Disease) in its first one or two days: Ma Huang (Herba Ephedrae) 1 da liang (remove joints), boil in 4 sheng of water, remove foam, reduce to 2 sheng, filter residue, add 1 spoonful of rice and Ci (Folium Morus) to make thin porridge. Strong individuals should consume one bowl. First take a hot bath, pour water over the head over a hundred bowls, then drink the porridge, cover thickly to induce sweating; best taken at night.
"Mei Shi Fang": Treats Shang Han where sweating fails to resolve symptoms after three or four days, with chest oppression and vomiting. Use Ci (Folium Morus) 1 sheng, Yan (Salt) 1 he, water 4 sheng; boil to obtain 1.5 sheng, divide and take. Vomiting should occur.

Use a 2-sheng cauldron, line bottom with sulfur, place BaDou on top, cover with more sulfur, pour strong vinegar (half sheng or more) over it. Cover tightly with a lid, seal seams with wet paper to prevent gas leakage, re-wet paper with vinegar when dry. Simmer on mild fire, keeping watch. When BaDou makes sound inside, stop when halfway done. Remove from fire, pound in mortar until fine. Add little rice vinegar and steamed dough, pound again until cool. Shape into pills the size of chicken heads. For Yin Du: take 1 pill with decoction of 49 peppercorns and 2 scallion whites in one cup of water boiled to 60%.

Another prescription: Treats Yin excess blocking Yang Shang Han, characterized by dry heat but no desire to drink. Take Pi Li San (Thunderbolt Powder): burn 1 Fu Zi (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata) to ash, preserve potency, grind to powder, take with honey-water. One dose cures. This forces out cold qi, allowing heat qi to rise and sweat to emerge, leading to cure.
"Sheng Hui Fang": Treats Yin Du Shang Han with cold extremities; use warming therapy. Wu Zhu Yu (Fructus Evodiae) 1 sheng, mix with wine, fill two damp silk bags, steam until extremely hot, apply to soles of feet. Stop when qi flows smoothly and warmth is even. Repeatedly verified effective.

Another prescription: Emergency treatment for post-Tian Xing vomiting and inability to eat. Eat raw lean lamb liver; no more than three times stops the condition.
Another prescription: Boil one chicken egg for 3-5 boils, remove, soak in water until outside is cooked but inside remains hot, swallow whole. Effective.
