In a Phrenzy and Lethargy bleed at first coming of it In a Carbuncle bleed til they faint In great Diseases alwaies bleed but with respect to the age and the strength You must bleed plentifully in a Lassitude with a Phlegmon somtimes til they faint After bleeding you must not presently refresh the Patient Abstain from bleeding when the blood is good and little and other humors are abundant but when it is contrary let blood If you forbear bleeding by reason of the age or for fear let the Patient purge the more To open the Haemorrhoids or provoke Terms or open the Ankle-vein and then purge is good with bleeding in the Arm. When blood abounds it must not presently be let out for fasting slender diet loosness of belly or purging or bathing often or exercise alone or much rubbing wil abate it After the opportunity of bleeding is passed other evacuations are dangerous when there are excrements either in the Brain or the Instruments of the Spirits Bleeding must be at the beginning of Diseases and somtimes purging Bleeding is a common way to cure diseases by repletion Bleeding whatsoever or wheresove● or howsoever done equally evacuateth the whole body The Aphorisms of Cornelius Celsus out of his Book 2. Chap. 9. THere is scarce a Disease in which bleeding is not allowed It is an old custom to let blood yong men and women not with Child But not Children and old folks and Women with Child for the Ancients thought the first and last age could not endure this kind of help and were perswaded that if a Woman with Child ●ould be let blood she would abort but after this Custom hath shewed that it is otherwise for it is not matterial what age the party is of or what is in the body but what strength the Patient is of ●herefore if a Youth be weak or if the woman be not with Child and be also weak it is not good to let blood for so the strength that remains wil be taken away but a strong Boy or old Man and a hearty strong Woman with Child may be cured by bleeding according to Celsus But the Physitian may be deceived if unskilful because in those ages there is less strength A Woman with Child hath need of strength after her cure not only for her self but to sustain the Child The chief art is to consider the strength of a Child old Man or Woman with Child There is difference to be observed between a fat and a lean body a strong and a weak The thin bodies have more blood the full bodies have more flesh They endure the loss of blood better and a fat man is sooner disturbed with it if it be too much Therefore the strength of the body is better to be found by the Veins than the Form Nor are these only to be considered but the Disease what kind it is whether abundance or want of matter hurteth whether the body be corrupt or sound For if the matter be wanting or be sound that is another thing but if it offend in plenty or be corrupt it can no way be better helped than by bleeding Therefore in a vehement Feaver when the body is red and the veins are swollen bleeding is required But if the Feaver be vehement and you let blood in the height of it you kill the Patient Therefore expect a remission if it decreaseth not but hath ceased to decrease and you hope for no remission then though it be worse bleeding then before avoid not the opportunity Somtimes make two daies work of it if there be necessity for it is better first to refresh the Patient and then to do it throughly then to spend all the strength at once If you bleed for the whole body open the arm if for a part bleed in that part or near it But this cannot be done every where but
