Content Summary
This book was written by a Qing Dynasty author, whose name is unknown. The entire work is divided into two volumes, covering internal medicine, gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, trauma, orthopedics, otolaryngology, and ophthalmology, with relatively rich content. It is worth mentioning that many of the diseases and conditions recorded in the book are acute and severe clinical cases, and their treatments are characterized by being "simple, inexpensive, and quick." Therefore, the author titled the book "Divine Effectiveness," as these treatment methods undoubtedly provide readers with certain insights into treating emergencies. The book lists over 70 prescriptions, along with methods for processing and preparation, as well as contraindications. At the end of the book, the author, based on Compendium of Materia Medica, compiled 44 entries of foods (some of which are medicinal) that "should not be consumed together" and 28 entries of "foods that no one should eat," which hold certain reference value. The content of the entire book is concise and focuses on practicality, retaining clinical applicability even today. It has been collated and annotated based on a Qing Dynasty printed edition preserved in the Library of the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, serving as a reference for clinical practitioners of both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
