Line 37
"When in Tai yang disease, after ten days have passed, the pulse is floating and fine, and there is somnolence, the outer body has already resolved. If there is fullness in the chest and rib-side pain, give Xiao Chai Hu Tang; if the pulse is floating only, give Ma Huang Tang.â€
Line 46
"In tai yang disease, when a pulse that is floating & tight, absence of sweating, fever, & generalized pain are unresolved after eight or nine days, the exterior pattern is still present & one should promote sweating. After taking medicine, the condition is slightly relieved, and the person is vexed & the eyes are heavy. If it is acute, there will be spontaneous external bleeding, which will bring about resolution. Why this is so is because the Yang qi is weighted. Ma Huan Tang governs.â€
