伤寒五六日，呕而发热者，柴胡汤症具，而以他药下之，柴胡症仍在者，复与柴胡汤，此虽已下之不为逆，必蒸蒸而振，却发热汗出而解。若心下满而鞭痛者，此为结胸也，大陷胸汤主之。但满而不痛者，此为痞，柴胡不中与之，宜半夏泻心汤。

大枣   十二枚，擘

Febrile disease caused by Cold, five or six days: Nausea, vomit and fever will be an adequate proof of Decoction of Radix Bupleuri syndrome. When a dose of purgative is adopted, if Decoction of Radix Bupleuri syndrome still exists, it is not an adverse case. The curative will still be a dose of Decoction of Radix Bupleuri. After taking the decoction, the patient will recover after he has had a fever, shivering, and perspiration. In case the patient has fullness, hardness, and pain at the epigastrium, it is a Blocked-up Chest. Decoction of Greater Xianxiong will be the remedy. If there is only fullness but no pain, it is Vital-energy Stagnancy (Pi). Decoction of Radix Bupleuri will not suit the case. Decoction of Rhizoma Pinelliae Xiexin will serve as a curative.
