All cleared and confirmed, by pithy reasons, true experiments, and pleasant relations. / Preserved and published, as a master-piece in this skill. By C. de Iryngio, chirurgo-medcine [sic] in the Army.	Irvine, Christopher, fl. 1638-1685.	1656 (1656)	Wing I1053; Thomason E1578_1; ESTC R202607	75,143	126

The stick once dip'd in the blood will suffice If the wound be big it must each day be dressed with clean linen 3. One stick will suffice but for one wound Each new wound must have a new stick 4.
