小儿数岁后,好吃泥土,人谓胃气热也,谁知是肝木之旺耶。肝木过旺来克脾
胃之土,而土虚不能敌肝,思得土以助脾胃,故见泥土而思食也。治之法,平其肝
木之旺,补其脾胃之虚,则土气无亏,自然见土而不嗜也。方用六君子汤加减治之。
人参(一钱) 茯苓(三钱) 甘草(五分) 陈皮(五分) 半夏(三分) 白术(五钱) 黄芩(五分)
白芍(五钱) 黄土(三钱)水煎服。一剂而肝气平,二剂而脾胃之气转,四剂不思食泥也。
此方原是健脾胃之圣药,加入黄芩以清肝火,白芍以平肝,肝平火清,而脾胃
自得其养矣。尤妙加入黄土者,借土气以安脾,投其所好。而六君子汤诸药,益足
以展其健运之功耳。
小儿生半岁或一、二岁,忽身上、手足上、肚腹上、两臂上或头面上长成大疮,
久变为毒,百药治之而罔效者,此非小儿之毒,乃父母之毒也。当时结胎或感杨梅
之恶气,及其坐胎之后或感淫气之火邪,遂至贻害于小儿。治之不得其法,半多死
亡,实可悯也。吾遇异人之传,治胎毒小儿已数十人矣,皆服之得生。我不传方,
不特失异人传铎之善心,而且使小儿可救之病,以不得吾方而失援,则小儿之死,
不犹之铎杀之乎,铎则何敢?故宁传世,使世服方而叹或有不效,断不可不传,使
世之怨无方以救子也。方用∶
金银花(二两) 生甘草(三钱) 人参(二钱) 天花粉(二钱) 黄药(三钱) 锦地罗(三钱)
水煎服。
二剂而毒全消。倘外口不愈,另有外治之方,用∶
蜗牛(三钱) 生甘草(三钱) 冰片(一钱) 儿茶(三钱) 轻粉(一钱) 麝香(三分)
樟脑(三钱) 黄丹(三钱) 水粉(三钱) 枯矾(三钱) 地龙粪(五钱) 各研极细末,以麻油调敷
疮口上,不到数日,自然疮内生肉,而疮口外敛,真神方也。轻者用前方而不必用外治,重
者内外合治,无不速愈矣。
铎从万世起见,将此仙方轻易传世,愿世人广传,体铎之心为心,切勿自恃为奇,隐而不传,
以受天谴也。
小儿在几岁之后,喜欢吃泥土,人们认为是胃气热所致,却不知这是肝木过旺的缘故。肝木过于旺盛会克制脾胃之土,导致土虚无法抵御肝木的克制,(患儿)想要通过摄取土来辅助脾胃,所以看到泥土就想吃。治疗的方法,是平抑肝木的过旺,补益脾胃的虚弱,那么土气就不会亏损,自然见到泥土也不会嗜食了。方剂用六君子汤加减治疗。人参(一钱) 茯苓(三钱) 甘草(五分) 陈皮(五分) 半夏(三分) 白术(五钱) 黄芩(五分) 白芍(五钱) 黄土(三钱),水煎服。服用一剂后肝气平和,两剂后脾胃之气恢复,四剂后就不想吃泥土了。这个方子原本是健运脾胃的圣药,加入黄芩以清泻肝火,白芍以平抑肝气,肝气平和、肝火清除,脾胃自然得到滋养。尤其妙在加入黄土,是借土气来安定脾脏,投其所好。而六君子汤中的各种药物,更足以发挥其健运的功效。
小儿在半岁或一、二岁时,忽然身上、手足上、肚腹上、两臂上或头面上长出大疮,时间久了变成毒邪,用各种药物治疗都无效,这不是小儿自身的毒,而是父母的毒。当时结胎时可能感受了杨梅疮的恶气,或者在怀孕后感受了淫气之火邪,从而贻害给小儿。治疗不得法,多半死亡,实在令人怜悯。我遇到异人传授此法,治疗患胎毒的小儿已有几十人,都服药得救。我不传这个方子,不仅辜负了异人传授给我的善心,而且会让可救的小儿因为得不到我的方子而失去援助,那么小儿的死亡,岂不是我陈士铎杀的吗?我怎敢这样做?所以宁愿流传于世,让世人服用方子即使感叹有时不效,也绝不能不传,让世人怨恨没有方子来救孩子。方剂用:金银花(二两) 生甘草(三钱) 人参(二钱) 天花粉(二钱) 黄药(三钱) 锦地罗(三钱),水煎服。服用两剂后毒邪全消。如果外口不愈合,另有外治的方子,用:蜗牛(三钱) 生甘草(三钱) 冰片(一钱) 儿茶(三钱) 轻粉(一钱) 麝香(三分) 樟脑(三钱) 黄丹(三钱) 水粉(三钱) 枯矾(三钱) 地龙粪(五钱),各研成极细末,用麻油调和敷在疮口上,不到几天,自然疮内生肉,疮口外敛,真是神方。轻症用前方而不必用外治,重症内外合治,没有不迅速痊愈的。
我从万世的角度出发,将这个仙方轻易流传于世,愿世人广泛传播,体谅我的心意,切勿自恃为奇方,隐藏不传,以免受到天谴。
After a child reaches several years of age, they may develop a craving for eating soil. People often attribute this to heat in the stomach qi, but little do they know it is due to the exuberance of Liver Wood. When Liver Wood becomes excessively vigorous, it overacts upon and controls Spleen-Stomach Earth, causing Earth deficiency that cannot withstand the control of Liver. The child seeks to supplement the Spleen and Stomach by ingesting Earth, hence the desire to eat soil when seeing it. The treatment method involves pacifying the exuberance of Liver Wood and tonifying the deficiency of Spleen and Stomach. Once Earth Qi is no longer deficient, the craving for soil will naturally cease. The formula used is Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) with modifications.
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) (1 qian), Fu Ling (Poria) (3 qian), Gan Cao (Licorice Root) (0.5 qian), Chen Pi (Aged Tangerine Peel) (0.5 qian), Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber) (0.3 qian), Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) (5 qian), Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root) (0.5 qian), Bai Shao (White Peony Root) (5 qian), Huang Tu (Yellow Earth) (3 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. After one dose, Liver Qi is pacified; after two doses, Spleen and Stomach Qi recovers; after four doses, the craving for soil disappears. This formula is originally a sacred medicine for strengthening the Spleen and Stomach. Huang Qin is added to clear Liver Fire, and Bai Shao is added to pacify the Liver. With the Liver pacified and Fire cleared, the Spleen and Stomach naturally receive nourishment. Particularly ingenious is the addition of Huang Tu, which borrows the Qi of Earth to calm the Spleen, catering to its preference. Moreover, the herbs in Liu Jun Zi Tang sufficiently enhance its function of promoting transportation and transformation.
When an infant at half a year or one to two years old suddenly develops large sores on the body, hands, feet, abdomen, arms, or face, which persist and transform into toxic pathogens, and all medicinal treatments prove ineffective, this is not the child's own toxin, but rather the toxin inherited from the parents. During conception, the mother may have been exposed to the malignant qi of yaws (chancre), or during pregnancy, she may have contracted fire pathogens from lascivious qi, thereby harming the fetus. If treated improperly, mortality is high, which is truly pitiable. I received transmission of a unique method from an extraordinary person and have treated dozens of children with fetal toxins, all of whom survived after taking the medicine. If I do not transmit this formula, I would not only betray the kindness of the person who transmitted it to me, Chen Shiduo, but also deprive salvageable children of aid due to lack of my prescription. In that case, the death of these children would be akin to me killing them. How dare I do so? Therefore, I prefer to disseminate it to the world. Even if people complain that it is sometimes ineffective, it must not be withheld, lest the world resent the lack of remedies to save their children. The formula is as follows:
Jin Yin Hua (Honeysuckle Flower) (2 liang), Sheng Gan Cao (Raw Licorice Root) (3 qian), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) (2 qian), Tian Hua Fen (Trichosanthes Root) (2 qian), Huang Yao (Polygonum Multiflorum Stem? *Note: Context implies a specific herb, likely referring to a local name or variant, kept as Huang Yao*), Jin Di Luo (Justicia Gendarussa Herb) (3 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. After two doses, the toxin completely dissipates. If external wounds fail to heal, there is an additional external treatment formula:
Wo Niu (Snail), Sheng Gan Cao (Raw Licorice Root) (3 qian), Bing Pian (Borneol) (1 qian), Er Cha (Catechu) (3 qian), Qing Fen (Calomel) (1 qian), She Xiang (Musk) (0.3 fen), Zhang Nao (Camphor) (3 qian), Huang Dan (Lead Monoxide) (3 qian), Shui Fen (Vermilion/Red Lead? *Context suggests a mineral powder*), Ku Fan (Alumen) (3 qian), Di Long Fen (Earthworm Excrement) (5 qian). Grind each into an extremely fine powder, mix with sesame oil, and apply to the wound. Within a few days, new flesh will naturally grow inside the sore, and the wound edges will contract externally. Truly a miraculous formula. Mild cases require only the internal formula without external treatment; severe cases benefit from combined internal and external therapy, ensuring rapid recovery.
From the perspective of benefiting future generations, I freely transmit this immortal formula. I wish the world to spread it widely, embodying my intent, and never arrogantly claim it as a secret wonder to be hidden away, thereby incurring heavenly retribution.
