师曰:疟脉自弦,弦数者多热,弦迟者多寒,弦沉紧者下之差,弦迟者可温之,弦浮紧者可发汗、针灸也,弦滑大者可吐之,弦数者风发也,以饮食消息止之。

For person with the string, deep and tight pulse, use bowel-cleansing therapy; for pulse of string and late, use warm therapy; for string, floating and tight pulse, use sweat therapy and acupuncture. For floating, slippery and big pulse, use vomiting therapy; string and frequent pulse, use diet therapy to stop the Nue disease.
