XIX Bleeding PHlebotomie or bloudletting is an incision artificiall of a v●in evacuating the bloud with the rest of the humors it was first invented by the river horse inh●biting in Nilus that famous river of Eg●p● who when he findes himself charged with overmuch bloud by rubbing his thigh against the sh●rp banke opens a veine and discharges the s●perfluous bloud which he stoppeth likewise when he sees convenient time by rowling it in the thicke mud Phlebotomie is not used in children before 14 nor in old men after fourscore without great necessi●y also the strength of the party must be considered that the qu●ntity of bloud evacuated may be according and if it be only for preserving of health let it be neither in sommer nor winter but in the spring time and in the morning before the day grow hot The veine in the forehead being opened is good for paine in the hinder part of the head which place first ought to be fomented with warme water The veines of the tongue are opened aslant in a squinancy without any ligatures about the neck the inner veine of the left arme is opened for disease in the lunges the liver is purged by the inner veine of the right arme the wombe by the veine under the ankle but for the gout or megrim it is not amisse to open the veine of the part affected Draw bloud from the sanguine the moone being in Taurus Virgo or Capricorne from the phlegmatick in Aries or Sagittarius from the cholerick in Cancer or Pisces from the melancholicke in Libra or Aquarius but beware you open not a veine in that part where the signe is because it hath beene often found very dangerous unlesse necessitie urge but by no meanes let it be upon a criticall day for then it is not good to administer any medicine purge or bleed as I shewed you before Three daies were observed of the antients wherein they would by no meanes let bloud the first of August the fourth of September the eleventh of March. Now bloud is let by opening of a veine for five principall respects the first is to lessen the a●undance of bloud as in phlethorick bodies The second is to divert as when a veine in the right Arme is op●ned to stay the bleeding of the left nostrill The third is to allure or drawe downe as when the s●phona is opened to drawe downe the courses in women The first is for al●eration or introduction of another quality as when in sharpe feavers a veine is opened to draw out that bloud which is hot and coole that which remaines behind The fifth is to prevent diseases as in the spring and autumne we open a vein in such as are subject to spitting of bloud squinancie plurifie falling sicknes apoplexie madnes gout or in such as are wounded to prevent inflamation Arteriotomie is the incision of an Artery and is much used now a daies chiefely in the temples and behind the eares for catarres and defluxions in the eyes breast and maladies of the head and inveterate headach CHAP. XX. BOxing or cupping is the application of some instrument either for the evacuation of some humour under the skinne or to divert the course of some humour to an other part and to draw away such things as are hurtfull to nature they are for the most part of glasse with wide bellies and are sometimes applied with scarification and sometimes without the way to apply them is thus put into the glasse a little dry flax and stick it to the bottome of the glasse with a little wax then light the flax with fire and apply the glasse to the place when the flesh is swolen up presse it about the edges and the glasse will fall off then with an incision knife scarify the place a little and apply the cupping-gl●sses as before and draw as much bloud as shall seeme convenient then drie the place with a soft cloth and anoint it with oyle of Roses and sleepe a while after Leaches Where cupping-glasses cannot be applied there we put horseleaches as to the gums nose fingers wombe and fundament anoint the place first with the bloud of some other creature that they take hold the more egerly and apply them to the place holding them in a linnen cloth for if you handle them in your bare hand they will be stomachfull and will not bite when they are filled with bloud and fall off then either apply more leaches or else cupping-glasses to cause them to fall off you shall put some powder of aloes salt or ashes upon their heads also if you desire to know how much bloud they have sucked
