Medicine is the practice of technology in the human body, and doctors cannot treat all diseases, especially those who come to die.

The day after Chen Shigong arrived in Tongzhou, there were medical teams at all the street corners in the city to strictly guard against it, and the banner troops who did not come into contact with people in the city loudly propagated the orders on the streets prohibiting drinking raw water, isolating livestock, and bathing with sulfur powder with water, but there were still people drinking raw water.

The medical team was in a hurry, and the people were also complaining.

Drinking hot water, known as drinking soup or warm soup in ancient times, is an ancient habit, but it is a habit that not everyone can follow.

Because drinking warm soup and tea are all about boiling water, this habit was popularized among the lower classes at least in the Song Dynasty, but this is related to people's living conditions, and people's living conditions are actually extremely important by environmental factors, and the progress of the times and the development of science and technology are not the only conditions.

Can the living standards of the poor people in the 31st year of the Republic of China exceed the people in the 13th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty?

Rather than a peaceful dog and a chaotic person, that's exactly what he said.

Today's Tongzhou City is environmentally bad...... When the city gates were closed, there was food and well water, but there was no firewood.

Firewood requires woodcutters to go up the mountain to chop firewood.

The people of Tongzhou usually have little firewood, and there is never a shortage of coal at the north end of the canal, but at this time, due to the illness and death of Zhizhou, Langzhong sent by the household department was sealed in the city.

The people split all the jujube trees that had been planted in their yards for more than ten years, but there was still no firewood after burning.

Therefore, there is no hot water to drink, and some people are reluctant to burn firewood, and they are used to being poor and thrifty, and they have luck in their hearts, and they have limited firewood and coal to cook some rice, so they drink raw water.

It's not easy for the government to speak.

However, Chen Shigong and the medical team agreed that the well water in the city had been polluted, and in fact there was no evidence, and the people who drank the well water in the city were sick and unsick, but the Oriental military doctor's judgment of the environment was to assume that everything was the source of infection.

Experiments are also underway, and they set up quarantine centers outside the city, sending a batch of rabbits in wooden cages from surrounding epidemic-free counties, and dividing them into four categories, drinking raw water in the city, cooked water in the city, raw water outside the city, and cooked water outside the city, and even setting up seven observation stations at different distances along the river.

Assuming that the water in the city is polluted, the probability is very high, then the water outside the city and the river are not safe, and the lockdown will be flawed, and the next thing to face is a larger-scale plague.

In addition to the precautions, the flag army shouted on the street, and there were professors to make masks and protective equipment, to use three layers of cloth between two layers of cotton between the baked toner, sewn, of which the baked toner is made by the medical household team outside the city, and the cotton and cloth are found by the people themselves, which are available at home.

They did everything they could, but they couldn't control the consciousness of the people, so they could only go door-to-door every other hour to check on them.

It is useful and effective for the medical team to be divided into two teams due to the lack of protective equipment, and a group of people go into the city to check the symptoms and treat the people, while the latter treats the symptoms according to the former.

Their efficiency is not high, because there is no perfect prescription, different doctors have different treatment methods for different patients' symptoms, and the same symptoms also have different drug additions and subtractions due to different severity.

Even so, the problem of drinking raw water is not easy to solve.

The medical team was helpless about this, and in the end, a small doctor under Chen Shigong came up with a 'crooked trick' to deceive the people.

This crooked trick is to create a kind of panacea that is actually useless and harmless, to deceive the people into drinking hot water.

Chen Shigong felt that he couldn't do this, he had to find the right medicine, and his eyes searched for it, staring at Banlangen.

This is a symptomatic herb.

According to the Zhizhou epidemic record, the vast majority of plague patients have cold and fever, red and swollen head and face, or accompanied by sore throat, followed by cold and heat increase, thirst and drinking, irritability, head and face swelling, swelling and pain in the throat and ears, and even submandibular neck, red tongue and other symptoms.

In the understanding of the doctors, this is warm poison, Banlan root clears heat and detoxifies, with white sugar is easy to teach people to drink water for drinking, but he is afraid that after this incident, the people will take this medicine as a life-saving straw, and drink it as water when they are idle.

Another advantage of Banlan root is that it is available everywhere, and it is not difficult to find medicinal materials, which is convenient for a large number of purchases.

As soon as the order was issued, several trucks were brought from the three subordinate counties that night.

Then it is ground into a mixed package of powder and sugar, the dose is very small, all the fixed can tire the doctors outside the city, rush to make thousands of copies in one night, disperse into the city during the day, one let the people with a large pot of water to boil, and also require that the wooden lid is always used to cover it firmly, in the name of preventing the dissipation of the medicinal power, in fact, it is just to avoid mixing with the mosquitoes with soldiers.

This is the first time that Chen Shigong has tried to prepare a large number of commonly used patent medicines, but this does not mean that no one has tried them in the past.

If you want to find a prescription for the treatment of the plague or other plagues from the north, you have to turn the medical skills of the Yuan Dynasty, which was the most rampant moment of the plague, and there was a dose of Puji Disinfectant Drink, which was the common prescription for the living at that time.

With skullcap and coptis bitter cold, diarrhea between the heart and lungs is the king; Orange and red bitter, succulent ginseng bitter cold, raw licorice sweet cold, fire and qi as a subordinate; Forsythia, millet sticky seeds, mint leaves are bitter and bitter, banlan root is bitter and cold, Ma Bo and white zombie silkworm are bitter and flat, and the swelling and disinfection are used as support; New cimicifuga, Bupleurum bitter flat, line Shaoyang, Yang Ming two meridians can not be extended; Platycodon Xinwen is a boat, not to go down.

A pair of medicines can see the scene of the naval battle of the monarch and the ministers and officials by boat.

The disadvantage is that most of the prescriptions are bitter and cold, and those with yin deficiency cannot use them, which is also Chen Shigong's concern about the banlan root to the people, so he has to make the medicine and distribute it to the people in small doses.

This is the main drug for the treatment of big head plague, and Chen Shigong wants to make this a common medicine to treat patients.

Among the conscripted doctors, there is a person named Gong Tingxian, who has been practicing medicine between Yan, Zhao, Liang and Yu for more than ten years, and uses rhubarb and tooth soap to make a drug called Ersheng Bitter Pill, which is dedicated to the patients who are more prevalent in the early stage of the plague.

The doctor's method of practice is to beat gongs and drums in the streets to get the patients out...... It is not good to be moved out, as long as it can come out, it means that the body is relatively strong and can withstand the power of the medicine, the patient sweats as soon as he takes it, and he is cured as soon as he sweats.

As for the patients and the old and weak who were carried out, he no longer had a unique way, and he first used ginseng to dissipate the mild patients who were treated step by step, and basically the mild symptoms could be cured, but if it was not good, he prepared burdock root and Qinlian soup, but the patients he was treating at the moment had not yet reached the time to use the latter medicine.

-

Gong Tingxian did have a person in history, and in the fourteenth year of Wanli, he treated all the survivors of Henan Datou plague.

He first named "Wuchang Epsom" in internal medicine, and wrote the first pediatric monograph named "Tuina".

Later, he was called "the leader of the world's doctors", and was given the flat forehead of "the champion of medical forest".
