[ILL-NATURE
SUCKS
POISON
FROM
THE
SWEETEST
FLOWER.]
845.
Quantity
Removed.
Leeches
are
supposed
to
abstract
about
two
drachms
of
blood,
or
six
leeches
draw
about
an
ounce;
but
this
is
independent
of
the
bleeding
after
they
have
come
off,
and
more
blood
generally
flows
then
than
during
the
time
they
are
sucking.
The
total
amount
of
blood
drawn
and
subsequently
lost
by
each
leech-bite,
is
nearly
half
an
ounce.
846.
After
Leeches
Come
Away,
After
leeches
come
away,
encourage
the
bleeding
by
flannels
dipped
in
hot
water
and
wrung
out
dry,
and
then
apply
a
warm
spongiopiline
poultice.
If
the
bleeding
is
not
to
be
encouraged,
cover
the
bites
with
a
rag
dipped
in
olive
oil,
or
spread
with
spermaceti
ointment,
having
previously
sponged
the
parts
clean.
847.
When
Bleeding
Continues
When
bleeding
continues
from
leech-bites,
and
it
is
desirable
to
stop
it,
apply
pressure
with
the
fingers
over
the
part,
or
dip
a
rag
in
a
strong
solution
of
alum
and
lay
over
them,
or
use
the
tincture
of
sesquichloride
of
iron,
or
apply
a
leaf
of
matico
to
them,
placing
the
under
surface
of
the
leaf
next
to
the
skin,
or
touch
each
bite
with
a
finely-pointed
piece
of
lunar
caustic,
or
lay
a
piece
of
lint
soaked
in
the
extract
of
lead
over
the
bites;
and
if
all
these
tried
in
succession
fail,
pass
a
fine
needle
through
a
fold
of
the
skin
so
as
to
include
the
bite,
and
twist
a
piece
of
thread
round
it.
Be
sure
never
to
allow
any
one
to
go
to
sleep
with
leech-bites
bleeding,
without
watching
them
carefully;
and
never
apply
too
many
to
children;
or
place
them
where
their
bites
can
be
compressed
if
necessary.
In
other
words,
never
apply
leeches
to
children
except
over
a
bone.
