Deng, male, 26 years old. In the early winter of 1938, he experienced severe pain in his abdomen, which slightly alleviated with hot compress and tuina. The tongue coating was thin and white, and the pulse manifestation was slow and choppy when lifted, and deep and wiry when pressed. It was diagnosed as cold exposure and lodging, with cold evil entering the interior, spleen deficiency leading to liver overacting, and liver stagnation within the spleen.
