戊辰之秋，张盛全病中风不语。在中西医束手之时，余为之针百会一穴而苏，其时人皆以余为善治中
风。其实中国之针，何病不可治。己巳春，枥城曹幼珊先生，忽中风而神昏不语，由张盛全急邀余往，脉已停
止，两目紧闭，呼之不应。询其家人知病发仅一小时，数日前已觉口眼歪斜。此乃实症，不可误认为虚，乃
为针肩井、三里等处，其脉立出，口已能言。询其本人，则云四肢麻甚。余复针头之风府。足之涌泉，
三日即能起坐。复刺口角
之地仓而口正，刺目 之睛明而眼不斜，七日即康复如常。八年
来体健身轻，虽七十有一，视之如五十许人也。曾以神针寿我四字为赠。
臂痛不能举，在医理上缘因甚多，虚实寒热皆可使其病也。初起人不留意，后至半身不遂，全体不用，
大病造成，治之已迟，此星星之火可以燎原也。褚德彝先生之夫人，臂痛经年，中西杂治，百药无灵，最后
就诊于余。其右手不能平肩，日夜酸楚无宁息，断为肺络之痰阻滞血脉。为针曲池、合谷，应手而瘥。
是以褚先生赠联（ 石名言征吕览 针俞神术阐仓公），有一针而愈之跋，所以纪实也。
吴兴陆连奎先生体健无疾，惟左手常麻，曾经中西杂治而不效，皆云防作风疾。前年其夫人因患偏头风痛
为余治愈。而信金针必可疗斯疾，针手三里即愈。是以本书序文中曾道及也。凡手足微麻，人都不在意，而不
知风症之初多有此类现状。如不即早图之，引起他症以至不救者甚多，如脑充血、脑裂、心脏病等。
在中医医理上追本穷源，皆中风一症之分门别类也。
戊辰年秋天，张盛全患中风导致不能言语。在中西医都束手无策的时候，我为他针刺百会穴一处，他便苏醒过来，当时人们都认为我擅长治疗中风。其实中国的针灸，什么病不能治呢？己巳年春天，枥城曹幼珊先生，突然中风而神志昏迷、不能言语，由张盛全急忙邀请我去诊治，此时他的脉搏已经停止，双眼紧闭，呼唤没有反应。询问他的家人得知发病仅一小时，几天前已觉得口眼歪斜。这是实证，不可误认为是虚证，于是为他针刺肩井、足三里等穴位，他的脉搏立刻恢复，口已能说话。询问本人，则说四肢麻木严重。我又针刺头部风府穴和足部涌泉穴，三天后就能坐起。又针刺口角的地仓穴使口型端正，针刺睛明穴使眼睛不斜视，七天就康复如常。八年来身体健壮轻盈，虽然七十一岁，看起来像五十岁左右的人。曾赠送“神针寿我”四字作为纪念。
手臂疼痛不能抬起，在医理上原因很多，虚实寒热都可以导致此病。初起时人们不在意，后来发展到半身不遂，全身无法活动，造成大病，治疗已经太迟，这就是星星之火可以燎原的道理。褚德彝先生的夫人，手臂疼痛多年，中西药混合治疗，各种药物都没有效果，最后来就诊于我。她的右手不能平举至肩部，日夜酸痛没有安宁时刻，判断为肺络之痰阻滞血脉。为她针刺曲池、合谷穴，手到病除痊愈。因此褚先生赠送对联（石名言征吕览 针俞神术阐仓公），并有一针而愈的跋文，所以是记录事实。
吴兴陆连奎先生身体健壮无疾病，只是左手经常麻木，曾经中西药混合治疗而没有效果，都说要防止发展为风疾。前年他的夫人因患偏头痛被我治愈。因而相信金针必定可以治疗这种病，针刺手三里穴即痊愈。所以在本书序文中也曾提到过。凡是手足轻微麻木，人们都不在意，却不知道风症初期多有此类现象。如果不尽早处理，引发其他病症以至于无法救治的情况很多，如脑充血、脑出血、心脏病等。在中医医理上追本穷源，都是中风这一病症的分门别类。
In the autumn of the Wuchen year, Zhang Shengquan suffered from stroke (Zhong Feng) resulting in aphasia. When both Chinese and Western medicine were at a loss, I treated him by needling Baihui (GV20), after which he regained consciousness. At that time, people considered me skilled in treating stroke. In fact, Chinese acupuncture can treat any disease. In the spring of the Jisi year, Mr. Cao Youshan from Licheng suddenly suffered from stroke with coma and aphasia. Urged by Zhang Shengquan, I went to treat him. His pulse had ceased, his eyes were tightly closed, and he did not respond to calls. Inquiry with his family revealed the onset was only one hour prior, though he had noticed facial deviation a few days earlier. This is an excess syndrome (Shi Zheng) and must not be mistaken for deficiency; therefore, I needled Jianjing (GB21) and Zusanli (ST36). His pulse immediately returned, and he could speak. Upon inquiry, he reported severe numbness in all four limbs. I then needled Fengfu (GV16) on the head and Yongquan (KI1) on the foot. Within three days, he could sit up. Subsequently, I needled Dicang (ST4) at the corner of the mouth to correct the facial distortion and Jingming (BL1) near the eye to straighten the gaze. He recovered fully within seven days. For eight years thereafter, his body remained robust and light; although seventy-one years old, he appeared to be around fifty. He once presented me with the inscription "Divine Needle Grants Longevity" as a token of gratitude.
Arm pain accompanied by inability to lift the arm has many causes in medical theory; both deficiency/excess and cold/heat patterns can induce this condition. Initially, people often neglect it, but it may progress to hemiplegia and total immobility, causing severe illness where treatment comes too late—this is akin to how a single spark can start a prairie fire. The wife of Mr. Chu Deyi suffered from chronic arm pain. Despite mixed Chinese and Western treatments and various medications yielding no effect, she finally consulted me. Her right hand could not reach shoulder level, suffering from day-and-night soreness without relief. I diagnosed phlegm obstructing the lung collaterals and blocking the blood vessels. By needling Quchi (LI11) and Hegu (LI4), she recovered immediately. Consequently, Mr. Chu presented a couplet ("Stone words quote Lu Lan; Needle acupoints reveal divine skill expounding Cang Gong's methods") and a postscript noting recovery after a single needle insertion, serving as a record of facts.
Mr. Lu Liankui from Wuxing was physically robust and free of disease, except for frequent numbness in his left hand. Previous mixed treatments failed, with warnings to prevent the development of wind disorders. The previous year, I cured his wife of migraines. Trusting that golden needles could cure such ailments, he was healed after needling Shousanli (LI10). This was mentioned in the preface of this book. Generally, slight numbness in hands and feet is ignored by people, unaware that such symptoms are common in the early stages of wind disorders. If not addressed promptly, they may lead to other conditions that become incurable, such as cerebral congestion, cerebral hemorrhage, or heart disease. Tracing back to the root in TCM theory, these are all categorized sub-types of the stroke syndrome.
