B08368	The anatomie of the inward parts o[f man] lively set forth and diligently, declaring the principall v[eins] the use of letting bloud; very necessary for physicians a[nd chy]rurgians, and all other that desire to know themse[lves].		1650 (1650)	Wing A3060A; ESTC R172296	4,838	8

that is to say that hath a pin overthwart about the end of the Launcer to keep it from going to deep in the vein And the letting bloud of these veins is good for the humours of the head for the Rheume and the Megram And it is to be noted that all the veins of the head ought to be left after a man hath eaten neither ought these veins to be let in those in whom is required the power to ingender For as saith Avicen through these veins are voided the spirits that nature doth send forth for generation C. The Vein on the outside of the arm the which the new practisers commonly do call Cephalica and Galen Vena externa and also Humeraelis taketh his originall with the Guiden or Jugulares exteriores from the hollow veins And this vein Cephalica must be opened with a greater hole than the other ●eins or else as saith Haly abbas the antient Physit●●● in the fourth book of his practise the foresaid vein 〈…〉 … ous to fall to an apostumation And great heed 〈◊〉 be take● for failing in opening this vein for it is … rdous to let For if you dare not touch this vein C … ike and fear to open it as some Barbers and Chyrurgeans that be not well expert do ye shall do great harr to the Patient and cause danger of apostumation Alwaies if ye touch this vein well at the first lancing it is the same that of all veins doth grieve least in letting of bloud howbeit howsoever ye do make the hole meetly great The opening of this vein is good for running of the eyes and all manner of head-ach and for the falling sickness D. The vein that appeareth in the middle of the arm before the bowing of it or after the bowing the which commonly is called the Median or Mediana or Nigra after Avicen or after Haly abbas Mediastina and after Rhasis and Almansor it is called Vena matrix or Cardiaca and hath his originall or spring partly of the Cephalica and partly of the Basilica the which must be opened overthwart the vein or at the least declining the Launcer a little awry except one will let twice and the letting bloud in this vein is good for all griefs and diseases of the members stomack ribs and sides for it is the fountain of all the body E. The Vein that is common called Basilica and after Galen Vena interna sometimes it is called Jecorria others do call it Hepatica or Regia Rhasis because it doth go thorough the armholes doth call it Vena axillaris and it doth proceed and come from the hollow vein being yet in the breast before it hath furnished the Interiores Jugulares or throat-veins The originall of this vein is of the stomack liver and heart and the best perceiver is in the outside of the arm Of the which vein he that shall open it ought to take diligent heed for launcing for hard by it is a great sinew like unto a vein wherein the spirit of life runneth up and down and is mixt with bloud the which if it be opened the Patient standeth in jeopardy of his life as saith Galen in his book of letting bloud Under the same Basilica are also great sinews touching the foresaid vein Therefore saith Rhasis in his 28. book eschue the Basilica as much as possible without it be for great need otherwise it is better to take the Median F. The Vein that appeareth upon the top of the pulse is the branch or twigg of the Cephalica G. The second vein that lightly appeareth about the middlemost finger and is commonly called Funis Brachii is also a branch or twigg of the Cephalica H. The third Vein of the hand the which appeareth about the little finger and is commonly called of the Physitians or Chyrurgeans Salvatella or Vena Titillaris or Ascelaris is also a branch of the Basilica The which veins of the hand as also other outward veins are of small value or profit to be let bloud or opened because they never yield much bloud and these must be opened as those of the feet namely in warm water to cause the veins to swell above the sinews I. The vein of the inner ankle of the foot the which appeareth more perfectly than the other is commonly called Saphena and cometh as doth also the Sciatica from the great hollowness that is under the knee K. The other Vein that is on the outside of the foot is called Sciatica and cometh likewise of the great hollowness under the knee And the letting bloud of these two veins is good for all manner of swellings and apostems of the privy members The which veins of the feet are jeapardous for deep launcing and especially the Sciatica which is more dangerous to be touched than the Saphena For if ye open the Sciatica and launch it deep for fear of failing because they appear so small ye shall hardly escape but that ye shall touch some sinew adjoyning to the same veins whereof might come great pain and other evil accidents as we have seen otherwhiles that for ignorance of the Barbers and Chyrurgians the Patient did fall into divers griefs of the sinews or the cramp This and such like griefs therefore are the causes why it is needfull to have the hands and feet in warm water when they shall be lanced to cause them to swell and appear the better for they be little of themselves and in giving them a cut with the Launcer ye must alwaies beware of the sinew Also the Sciatica must be launced as the Saphena namely a little overthwart seeing they appear enough And generally every vein that is in a place full of sinews or between sinews must be opened along the vein and that for two reasons The first is to eschew the sinews in what place soever they be The Second is that the vein that is cut or blemished along the vein is not so dangerous for the cramp or other evil accidents as saith Galen in his fift Book of Methodus Therapeutice as when it is launced along a little overthwart Behold Gentle Reader these are the Veins that are commonly inured to be cut There be many other Veins that may be cut for divers griefs but because they are little in use and Galen and other antient Greeks have made no mention of them let this suffice
