Cattle Gallstone Snatch Back Life Powder

The indication is the most exact piece of paediatric observation in this part of the chapter. 兩脇扇動 — both flanks fanning in and out — is intercostal and subcostal recession. 兩鼻竅張 is nasal flaring. 胸滿喘麄 and 悶亂喘喝 are a full chest, coarse laboured breathing and agitated gasping. Those four signs together are exactly what a modern clinician looks for to say that a child's breathing is failing, and 死在朝夕, death by morning or evening, is the right prognosis for a child showing them untreated. The chapter saw this clearly. Its answer was to purge. Rhubarb at a nyang, white and black morning-glory seed at 5 don each with only the first-ground powder kept, areca seed and costus root, and calomel stirred in at the end — taken in honey water 微利爲度, to the point of a mild loosening of the bowel. The theory is that the lung is blocked and what blocks it must be brought down and out through the stool. **This must not be prepared or given.** Morning-glory seed is a drastic purgative and rhubarb an anthraquinone laxative on top of it; purging a child in respiratory failure takes fluid and potassium out of a patient who has none to spare, and in a child already losing fluid the purgative alone can kill by dehydration. Calomel is mercurous chloride — mercury, and the chapter's full statement on mercury is on 辰砂膏. Areca seed is a recognised human carcinogen. **The patient is a child and the text gives no dose by weight anywhere**: 1 or 2 don of powder, with the bowel's response as the only gauge. What a child with these signs needs is oxygen, an assessment of the cause, and treatment directed at it — antibiotics for pneumonia, bronchodilators and steroids for asthma, supported breathing where the work of breathing can no longer be sustained. **Honey must not be given to a child under twelve months**; the botulism hazard is set out on 香橘餠 in the preceding section. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
