Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治同上. 生薑, 年少者百錢, 年老者二百錢, 搗取自然汁, 鴨子一箇打破, 入薑汁內攪勻. 右同煎至八分, 入蒲黃三錢, 再煎五七沸, 空心溫服, 立效. 《本事》

Translation

Treats the same as above. Fresh ginger — a hundred cash weight for the young, two hundred for the old — pounded for its natural juice; one duck egg broken into the ginger juice and stirred even. Decoct together down to eight parts, add 3 don of cattail pollen and boil five to seven bubblings more; take warm on an empty stomach, and the effect follows at once. — Bonsa 本事 (Donguibogam · Buin)

Clinical commentary 臨床

年少者百錢, 年老者二百錢 — a hundred cash for the young, two hundred for the old. Adjusting the dose by the patient's age rather than by weight or severity is unusual and appears only here in these chapters. **Dysentery in pregnancy requires medical treatment.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
