• Line 326: In jueyin disease, there is consumptive thirst, qi
  surging upwards striking the heart, painful heat in the
  heart, hunger witout desire to eat, and vomiting of
  roundworms after eating…

Line 338: In Cold Damage, when the pulse is faint and there is
reversal, at day seven or eight, the skin is cold, and the person
is agitated without periods of quiet, this indicates solid organ
reversal, not roundworm reversal. In roundworm reversal,
the person should vomit roundworms. Now the person is
still, and then has periodic vexation, which indicates cold of
the solid organs. The roundworms ascend and enter the
diaphragm, hence there is vexation,, but wait a moment and it
will cease. After eating there is retching and again vexation,
because the roundworms smell the maleodor of food. The
person often spontaneously vomits roundworms.
