名休息痢。凡痢症腹不作痛,惟下脓血,兼流黄浆,日久不愈。此系平素爱食冷茶、水
酒所致。取活鳝鱼去肠杂,切断,放瓦上焙枯成炭,研粉。每服三钱,黄糖拌热陈酒送下,
数服全愈。不拘老幼,无不神效,忌食生冷、水酒、海参、海蜇等物。此林屋山人经验方也
又方∶真乌梅,煎水,红白糖调服,大有功效。或用乌梅熏洗之法(见前噤口痢方),
亦
又方∶凡痢疾多年不愈,其积日久下坠,竟至大肠下口,直肠上口交界之处,有小曲折
,隐匿于此,为肠脏最深之处,药所不到之地。症则乍轻乍重,或愈或发,便则乍红乍白,
或硬或溏,任是神丹,分毫无济,往往有三五年或十余年不愈者,由此故也。宜用鸦胆子去
壳,以桂圆肉包之。大人每包七粒,多则七包,少则五包;小儿每包三粒,多则五包,少则
三包。空心滚水吞下,随服干饭一二碗。俟大便行时,有白痢如鱼脑者,即冷痢之根。如无
白痢,一二日后,再服一次(或加数粒亦可),此后不必服矣。戒食生冷诸物及甲鱼、海参、
海蜇、皮蛋、鸭肉三月,戒荤、酒五日,永不再发,虽十余年不愈者,无不神效。服至一二
日后,如腹中作痛,用白芍一根,甘草一根,俱重三钱,纸包,用水浸湿,火内烧熟,取出
捶烂,煎水服,立愈。
又方∶豆腐,醋煎,常常服之,甚效。
又方∶数十年古松树上皮,研细末,稀粥和服一碗,日服三次,三日必愈。
用麻油煎炸咸鱼,食用数次,效果极佳。此方奇特且灵验,其原理难以揣测。
这种病症称为休息痢(指痢疾时发时止,迁延不愈者)。凡是痢疾病症中腹部不疼痛,只是排出脓血,兼有黄色浆液流出,日久不愈的。这是由于平时喜爱食用冷茶、凉水及酒类所致。取活鳝鱼去除内脏,切断,放在瓦片上焙烤至焦黑成炭,研磨成粉。每次服用三钱,用红糖拌和,以温热的陈年酒送服,服用数次即可痊愈。不论老少,无不神效,忌食生冷食物、凉水、酒类、海参、海蜇等物。这是林屋山人的经验方。
另一个方子:用真正的乌梅,煎煮水,加入红白糖调匀后服用,功效显著。或者使用乌梅熏洗的方法(见前文噤口痢方),也有效。
又一个方子:凡是痢疾多年不愈,积滞日久导致下坠感,甚至到达大肠下口与直肠上口交界之处,那里有小曲折,隐匿于此,是肠脏最深之处,药物难以到达的地方。症状表现为病情忽轻忽重,有时痊愈有时发作,大便颜色忽红忽白,或干硬或稀溏,即使是神丹妙药,也毫无帮助,往往有三五年或十余年不愈的,原因就在于此。适宜使用鸦胆子去壳,用桂圆肉包裹。成人每包七粒,最多七包,最少五包;小儿每包三粒,最多五包,最少三包。空腹时用滚开水吞服,随后吃一两碗干饭。等到排便时,如果有白色痢疾样物质如鱼脑状排出,这就是冷痢的病根。如果没有白色痢疾样物质,一两天后再服用一次(也可以增加几粒),此后就不必再服了。戒食生冷各种食物以及甲鱼、海参、海蜇、皮蛋、鸭肉三个月,戒荤腥、酒类五天,永不再复发,即使是十余年不愈者,无不神效。服药一两天后,如果腹中作痛,用白芍一根、甘草一根,各重三钱,用纸包裹,用水浸湿,在火内烧熟,取出捣烂,煎水服用,立即痊愈。
又一个方子:几十年古松树上的树皮,研磨成细末,用稀粥调和服用一碗,每日服用三次,三天必定痊愈。
Fried salted fish in sesame oil, consumed several times, is highly effective. This prescription is peculiar and miraculous, though its mechanism is inconceivable.
This condition is named Xiu Xi Li (Resting Dysentery, referring to dysentery that comes and goes and persists for a long time). In cases of dysentery where the abdomen does not hurt, but only pus and blood are discharged, accompanied by the flow of yellow serum, which fails to heal after a long period. This is caused by a habitual preference for consuming cold tea, cold water, and alcohol. Take live eels, remove the intestines and viscera, cut them into pieces, place them on tiles, and bake until charred into carbon, then grind into powder. Take three qian per dose, mixed with brown sugar, and swallow with warm aged wine. After several doses, complete recovery occurs. It is miraculously effective regardless of age, avoiding raw/cold foods, cold water, alcohol, sea cucumber, jellyfish, etc. This is an empirical prescription from Linwu Shanshanren.
Another prescription: Use genuine Wumei (Mume Fruit), decoct in water, mix with red and white rock sugar, and take orally. It has significant efficacy. Alternatively, use the method of fumigating and washing with Wumei (see the prescription for Jin Kou Li/Throat-Closing Dysentery mentioned earlier), which is also effective.
Yet another prescription: For dysentery that has persisted for many years without healing, the accumulation has been present for so long causing a bearing-down sensation, reaching even the junction of the lower opening of the large intestine and the upper opening of the rectum. There is a slight tortuosity hidden there, which is the deepest part of the intestinal organs, a place where medicines cannot reach. The symptoms manifest as alternating severity, remission and recurrence, stools varying between red and white, or hard and loose. Even divine elixirs are of no help; often lasting three to five years or more than ten years without healing, this is precisely the reason. It is suitable to use Yadanzi (Brucea javanica Seed), removing the shell, and wrapping it in Longyan Rou (Longan Aril). Adults wrap seven seeds per packet, maximum seven packets, minimum five packets; children wrap three seeds per packet, maximum five packets, minimum three packets. Swallow with boiling water on an empty stomach, followed by one or two bowls of dry rice. When defecation occurs, if white dysenteric discharge resembling fish brain appears, this is the root of Cold Li (Cold Dysentery). If no such white discharge appears, take another dose after one or two days (adding a few seeds is also acceptable); thereafter, no further administration is needed. Avoid all raw/cold foods, soft-shelled turtle, sea cucumber, jellyfish, century egg, and duck meat for three months; avoid meat and alcohol for five days. It will never recur again. Even for cases persisting for over ten years, it is miraculously effective. If abdominal pain occurs one or two days after taking the medicine, use one Baishao (White Peony Root) and one Gancao (Licorice Root), each weighing three qian. Wrap in paper, moisten with water, roast in fire until cooked, take out, pound into paste, decoct in water, and drink; relief is immediate.
Yet another prescription: Tofu, decocted with vinegar, taken frequently, is very effective.
Yet another prescription: Bark from ancient pine trees of decades-old age, ground into fine powder, mixed with thin porridge, take one bowl, three times daily. Cure is certain within three days.
