To the Physical Reader.  
THe greatest Reason that I could ever observe, why the Medicines prescribed in the Physic Books before mentioned, do not (sometimes) perform the Cures promised, is, the unskilfulness of those that make up the Medicines. I therefore advise all those that have occasion to use any Medicines, to go or send to Mr. Ralph Clarke Apothecary, at the sign of the three Crowns on Ludgate-Hill, in London; where they shall be sure to have such as are skilfully and honestly made.   

OF BLOOD-LETTING AND THE Diseases to be cured thereby.  

What Blood-letting or Phlebotomy is?  
IT is an Universal evacuation of fullness of humours or Plethory. And Plethory is the increase of humours above equality in the Veins.  
The knowledge of Complexions is requisite to Phlebotomy.  
The signs of a sanguine complexion are contained in these Verses.  

By nature they are fat and love to hear  
News and reports, to drink and make good cheer,  
To court fair Ladies, and to laugh and sing  
And play the Poets, and learn any thing.  
To Wrath not prone, but noble, kind and free,  
Abounding much in liberatilie.  
Of red Complexion like the fragrant rose,  
And bold as Hector to affront their foes.    

Signs of Plethory and Blood abounding.  
When blood abounds the face is over red,  
The eyes fart out, and cheeks are fully fed,  
The body is unwieldy, pulse is quick,  
Full, soft, and in the forehead there doth stick  
A tearing pain, the belly it is bound.  
The tongue is dry, with thirst, and sleep profound.  
Spittle is sweet, and when they sharp things take  
The taste is sweet, it cannot no difference make.   

Signs of the choleric Complexion and of Choler abounding.  
Choler's a humour reign's in furious men  
That strive to lord it o'er their brethren;  
They learn but slowly, but can eat apace  
From whence they grow, in stature, and in face  
And heart are bold, still soaring above all  
Crafty, deceitful, angry, prodigal,  
Slender, rough, dry, and yellow is their skin.  
If tongue be parched with heat, and noise within  
The ears, with watching, and with vomiting,  
And thirst, fat stools, and pain, and belly wing  
With loathing: heartach: want of appetite.  
If pulse be hard, and swift, and hot, and light,  
Mouth dry and bitter, and of fire thou dream,  
Be sure that choler is in thee supreme.   

Signs phlegmatic Complexion, and of Phlegm abounding.  
Phlegm makes men strong; of stature broad and low  
They flatter, than the sanguine men do grow,  
They idleness affect, their sense is dull,  
And in much sleep they do their bodies lull.  
They move as slowly as the housed snail,  
And are of colour very won and pale.  
Phlegm makes unsavoury taste, which meat doth loath  
With spitting; pain in head and stomach both  
The pulse is seldom, slow, and soft, and wide,  
With dreams of water, where the phlegm doth guide.   

Signs of Melancholic Complexion and of Melancholy abounding.  
It makes men evil, sad, and slow to speak,  
To be contemplative, and sleep to break,  
To be resolved, but think nothing fast,  
Envy and avarice in them doth last.  
Deceit and fear, the colour of their skin  
Is sad and black, pulse hard, and urine thin.  
They dream of Ghosts, Hobgoblins and Cells.  
They yawn and belch, from wind that in them dwells.  
They spit, and spawle, and relish very sour,  
And in their left ear is a noise each hour.   

What Age is fit for Phlebotomy.  
Before the seventeenth year draw none at al.  
In middle age oft for the Surgeon call.  
Old folk and children must but little bleed,  
And then when as there is apparent need.   

An Addition.  
At this time in great necessity, especially in a Pleurisy and other strong diseases, we bleed with good success; in the fourth or fifth year three or four ounces. The middle age is from thirty to forty five or fifty.   

What things hinder Phlebotomy.  
Bleed not at all, when the Complexions cold  
Nor in cold weather, nor when pain doth hold  
With violence, nor after thou hast been  
In baths, or sporting with thy Fancy's queen  
Nor after tedious sickness, nor when  
Thou art by meat or drink a shame to men.  
Bleed not too young, nor when thou art too old,  
Nor when thy stomaches weak with sense of cold.   

Addition.  
To these add. Bleed not in the beginning of a Disease, for the Crisis is the day of the motion of sickness, or in the fit, nor before the Guts are cleansed from excrements, nor in the time of the Natural courses of women nor in the flux of the Haemorrhoids; nor after a choleric disease, and the like, of which we shall speak in the Aphorisms for bleeding.   

At what time Bleeding is good.  
In every month thou lawfully mayest bleed,  
If blood abound, and thou a vent dost need.  
April and May the Liver-vein is best.,  
September's for the Spleen; and for the rest  
In Winter take the Vein comes from the head,  
And in the Autumn let the Feet be bled.  
In Summer, open still the Liver-vein.  
In Spring, that of the Heart called Median.   

What is to be done in Bleeding.  
When you let Blood make a large orifice to let out the Wind and the Blood more freely, after Bleeding let him not sleep for six hours: make not too deep an orifice, lest thou prick a Nerve, and let him not eat presently after bleeding. It is good to bathe two or three days afore bleeding and three or four days after, give Wine afore and in time of bleeding, if you fear swooning, move before and after by gentle walking.   

What is to be avoided after Bleeding.  
Abstain from milk, meats and drink, and cold things, and keep from foul weather: clear Air is good and rest; for motion often hurteth   

Of the Effects and profit of Phlebotomy.  
It cheereth the sad, appeaseth the angry; and keeps Lovers from madness: it cleareth the sight, and makes the Brain warm, and the marrow. It purgeth the bowels, stomach and belly, purifieth the senses, causeth sleep. It mends the hearing, and voice and increaseth strength.

APHORISMS TO BE Observed in Blood-letting.  

Hypocrates his Aphorisms concerning Phlebotomy.  
IF the Vessels be emptied as they should be, it doth good; and the Patient likes it well, if otherwise not. Therefore consider the Climate, Time and Age, and Diseases, whether you ought to bleed or no.  
All diseases by repletion, are cured by Evacuation or Blood-letting, if large and violent, or much at the nose.  
If any be dumb on the sudden, open the vein in the right arm. A Woman with child will miscarry upon bleeding, and the sooner as her child is older.  
In acute diseases open a vein, when the disease is vehement, and the patiented in his youth, and strong.  
The veins behind the Ears being opened, cause barrenness.  
If you will let blood, by reason there is blood gathered together, to turn it from the place, do it at a great distance from the part afflicted. The opening of the veins beneath in the groins, Thighs, Legs and Ankles, maketh men unfruitful. It is good for a man to bleed sometimes: the time of bleeding gins at February, and again at September.   

The Aphorisms of Galen, concerning Bleeding.  
THere are three Considerations in Blood-letting, the vehemency of the disease, the youth of the Patient, and the strength of the Faculty.  
Nor too young, nor too old are to be let blood.  
They need no blood-letting that have any natural evacuation.  
Many need bleeding after long Diseases by the three considerations mentioned.  
We bleed when there is no fullness, when there is great pain, or in a Fracture or dislocation, or any contraction in a Joint.  
Bleeding requires strength agreeable to the evacuation.  
It is not good to bleed often in one year.  
When you let blood, keep off far from the Artery.  
Bleeding and Water-drinking are chief remedies of containing Fevers.  
When you will cure obstructions first open a Vein though there be no fullness.  
Necessity allows and commands blood-letting at any time or hour.  
It is a good Remedy in continual Fevers to let blood till they faint, if the Patient be strong.  
Two hours after bleeding the Patient may eat.  
In bleeding in continual Fevers consider not the number of the days, but only the strength.  
If at the time of bleeding the Terms chance to flow, or the Haemorrhoids, observe it, and if the quantity voided be sufficient, leave the whole business to Nature and that flux, but otherwise bleed a little.  
These are the inconveiencies that follow, loss of too much blood, Faintness, worse habit of body, a colder temper, discoloring of the whole body, and falling into long deadly Diseases.  
In all Fevers bleed at the first if the Patient be strong.  
It is lawful by bleeding to evacuate superfluities in a Fever.  
In a Phlegmon of the Liver, the blood that flows thicker must be let out by opening the internal vein in the right Arm.  
In a Frenzy and Lethargy, bleed at first coming of it.  
In a Carbuncle bleed till they faint.  
In great Diseases, always bleed, but with respect to the age and the strength.  
You must bleed plentifully in a Lassitude with a Phlegmon, sometimes till they faint.  
After bleeding you must not presently refresh the Patient.  
Abstain from bleeding when the blood is good and little, and other humours 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, looseness of belly, or purging, or bathing often, or exercise alone, or much rubbing will 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 sometimes 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 young 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 persuaded that if a Woman with Child ●ould be let blood, she would abort: but after this, Custom hath showed 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 will 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 Physician 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 herself 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 Fever when the body is red, and the veins are swollen bleeding is required.  
But if the Fever 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.  
Sometimes make two days 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 in the Temples, Arms, or about the Ankles.  
Some say that blood must be drawn far off from the part affected. For that will divert the course of the matter, and take away that which offendeth.  
But that is false. For it emptieth the nearest part first, and blood flows thither from the remote while it bleeds: when it is stopped it will not be drawn. And experience shows, that if the Head be broken, that it is best to bleed in the Arm.  
If there be a fault in the shoulder, the contrary Arm is to be blooded, because if there be any evil, the part that is affected will sooner receive it. Sometimes blood is diverted when it breaks out in one part, and you let blood in an other. And it ceaseth to flow by applying things that stop to the part, first bleeding, and giving it another vent.  
Though bleeding be easy to an Artist, yet is it hard to an ignorant person. For the vein is joined to the Arteries and the Nerves to them. Therefore if the Lancet touch the Nerve, there is stretching of the Nerve, which his grievous.  
But an Artery cut, neither grows together, nor will be healed, but sometimes causeth a violent flux, but if a Vein be cut, the heads or orifices being pressed down the blood stoppeth.  
If the Lancet be fearfully applied, it only cuts the Skin and not the Vein.  
The Vein must be cut in the middle out of which when blood flows you must observe the colour and habit of body; for if blood be thick and black, it is bad and fit to be lost.  
If it be red and shining, it is sound, and the loss of it (instead of profit) hurteth, therefore it must be stopped.  
But these things cannot happen to a Physician that knows what Body ought to lose Blood.  
If it be all black, let it often out, and bleed not again, if you have enough before fainting.  
Tie up the Arm with a Pledget dipped in cold water, and open the vein with your nail the next day, for the new Escar will easily come off, and it will bleed again.  
But whether it be in the first or second day, that blood which first was thick and black, begins to wax red and clear, there is enough taken; therefore let the Vein be presently bound up, and kept so till there be a strong Eschar which will quickly be in a Vein. This Celsus.   

THE APORISMES OF Arnoldus de Villa nova out of his Book of the Regiment of Health.  
AFter Bathing, or Venery, or great Exercise, bleed not by any means.  
And also after a long sickness.  
They which serve in hot houses, and take great pains in their calling to resolve the Body, must not be let blood.  
Bl●ed not in very hot nor very cold Wether.  
The Spring and Autumn are best times to let blood in.  
Bleed not in a pestilent Air, cloudy, or stormy Wether, or when the Southwind blows.  
In Summer bleed at eight in the morning, in Winter at noon.  
Let young men bleed in the first quarter of the Moon, and old in the last.  
Sanguine men must bleed in the first quarter, Choleric in the second, Phlegmatic in the third, and Melancholic in the fourth.  
If the Moon be in a sign with a evil aspect, or to any member, bleed not in that member  
In Aries, bleed the Head, in Gemini, the Arms, in Cancer, the Median, in Sagittarius, the Thigh, in Aquarius, the Legs and Thighs, and in Pisces, the Feet. The other parts are safe at any time.  
If the Moon be in Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, it is bad to let blood, if in Cancer, Scorpio, Piscis, indifferent, if in Aries, Libra, Sagittarius or Aquarius it is good.  
Let Drunkards and Gluttons, and those that are filled to loathing, abstain from Bleeding.  
If any want Blood-letting, and neglect it there will be Imposthumes inward and outward, the great and small Scab, the Ring-worm, Synochus, Measles, Apoplexy and Palsy, small Pox and spitting of Blood, Quinzy, Plague, sudden Death and Leprosy, and generally all sickness of much Blood or corruption of Blood: and they that are inclinable to such Diseases, let them not neglect phlebotomy.  
There are many evils by bleeding unreasonably. From often bleeding come Obstructions, Dropsies, Age hasteneth on, the Appetite decays and Stomach, weakness of Heart and Liver, Trembling and Palsy, and weakness of all virtues both Natural and Animal.  
He that is very musculous and fleshy, by accident, and he that is extenuated, and they which use to diet that breeds much blood, and live in idleness and pleasure, and dwell in Countries where there is little resolution; and that eat much flesh roasted, and drink sweet Wines, and use Baths, and no copulation, and exercise little, are more to bleed than others, and they who fast and eat melancholic meats are to bleed less.  
When Phlebotomy is used to evacuate and in a place near the Disease or the part where it is, than the first blood ought to be worse than the second, and the second than the third, and if the contrary happen, there is still need of bleeding and Physic. But in some bodies that need little bleeding, it often happens that the first is better than the second, and then you may bleed again presently.  
Before bleeding it is good to exercise, move and watch to make it move better. The Member to bleed is to be rubbed and heated, and washed with warm Water, to make the Vein plainer and the blood freer.  
The Chirurgeon must be young, expert, and of quick sight, not trembling or drunk.  
If a weakhearted Patient, or one very faint is to bleed, let him first eat Bread and drink astringent Wine.  
They whose Blood is thick, immovable, and the Veins hidden, must be bathed some days before, except the body be very plethoric.  
Before bleeding let the Belly and Bladder be free.  
In those that have an Imposthume bleed while the colour of it changeth: but when there is a simple plenitude without an Imposthume, expect not the change of blood, for the blood may be all a like, or good.  
If the Blood be whitish and thin, lose but little.  
In Summer and Spring bleed in the right side in Autumn and Winter in the left.  
In a venomous matter, bleed on the same side.  
When there is great necessity open the same Vein twice in a day, or when you have not taken enough.  
If after the Vein is opened the blood will not flow, than it is good to cough and hawk, and clap the Patient upon the Shoulders.  
Touch the Blood as it comes forth, if it be cold, stop it presently, and also if it be very hot and thin, for in both cases, you may fear swooning.  
Take a drop of blood upon the Nail, if it flow off, and stand not firm, it is waterish, and must be presently stopped  
Or drop it into water, if it sink, it is too thick, and if it disperse and swim, it is too watery, if it be in a mean, it is good.  
After bleeding, Exercise not that day, but rejoice at home, nor Bathe that day, & use no Venery till the fourth day, nor sleep in the day.  
Consider also the substance of the Blood, it is either melancholic, phlegmatic, sanguine, pure, choleric, or watery.  
Melancholy is the dregs of blood, it is black, and in the bottom of the Poringer, and when there is too much of this, it is no good sign, than we may judge that the Patient is sad, envious, and curious, covetous, fearful and poor-spirited, such must use things to cleanse and increase blood.  
Phlegm is white, slimy, unsavoury, like whites of Eggs, and it is in the blood next above the Melancholy, this must not be too much, and if there be much of it, we judge him to be phlegmatic, naturally, sleepy, rude, and dull to action, and to spit much, but there ought to be more of this than of Melancholy.  
Then follows pure blood, it ought to be of a purple colour, reddish or ruddy, of this there ought to be more, if there be much of it the Patient is sanguine, and and free, amiable and cheerful, laughing and of a red colour, bold and bountiful.  
Then follows Choler which is the froth of Blood, of a Saffron-colour, with glittering red, there ought to be less of this than of blood or phlegm, and more than of melancholy.  
If therefore there be a great quantity of this, we may judge the party choleric, and by consequence crafty, deceitful, wrathful, bold and prodigal, apt for action, watchful and subtle.  
Moreover you must consider the watery substance that swims at top when the blood is congealed, as whey when milk is curdled, and it is like Urine, if it be put into a Glass, and when this water is like the Urine of a sound man whose blood it is, it is good, otherwise not.  
And when this water is separated more perfectly from the blood, the better it is, and the better is the digestion and decoction in the Liver. And the contrary.  
This water must be in the blood to make it thin, that it may pass more free through the great Veins and small, and so come to the members.  
Therefore it is not good that blood should be without this water.  
For it wanted show, dryness and thickness of blood, this is in such us fast much, and watch, and eat dry and hot meats, and that study and exercise much, and in some that are well.  
Moreover it is not good that too much water be in the blood, for it would show defect of digestion, either in respect of meat or drink, or in respect of the parts that cannot convert the meat into blood, and it shows also too much coldness and moistness of blood, and weakness of body.  
Hence it is that they who have cold Stomaches, and Livers, and Veins, and eat cold and moist Meats, and much, and especially drink much, and exercise little, and fast not, nor watch, have such blood.  
Also in Blood there is a fleshy Substance declining to white, for the Blood beginning to whiten in the Veins, because the farther digestion to convert it into Members proceeds in whitning. This digestion gins in the great veins, and end in the small with the Members of the third digestion, namely at the outward solid Members of the whole Body.  
This Substance is flesh-like, and appears manifestly in Blood after it is washed, and the fatter, moister, or more watery the Blood is, the less there is in it of this substance, and the thicker (except it exceed the temper) and less far, and without water, the more of this fleshy substance is to be seen.  
Therefore from a great quantity of this white substance, is signified the good digestion in the Veins, and the pliableness of the Blood to turn into Members, especially when you feel it with your hands. And when there are no great things contained in it, that are not hard, but will crumble with the fingers. For by such there is signified an inclination to a Leprosy.  
Moreover if thou wouldst know the substance of the whole blood, cut it when it is congealed with a knife or thin stick, and if it resist not but cut easily, it signifies the subtlety of the blood; but if it divide with difficulty, than it signifies sliminess and grossness of Blood.  
And if Blood will not be cut, though it be easily divided as it is in Oil, and water and other moist things which are easily divided, though not cut, that blood is too thin, and that thinness argues want of digestion.  
And when blood is easily pricked but not cut than it is slimy, and that blood is commonly phlegmatic.  
And when it is cut but with resistance, than the blood is gross, but not viscous or clammy.  
You must consider also of the colour of blood for if in one part of the Poringer it appear of one colour, and in another of another colour, as in a Pigeons neck, it signifies diversities of evil humours.  
Therefore we must consider the true fixed colour of the blood; it is red and purple, not dark red, and that argues good blood.  
If it be a glittering red, it argues predominant choler, and also if it be like Saffron. If it be frothy, it shows wind. If it be white or livid, or blue, it signifies cold and predominant phlegm, and especially if the blood be slimy, and there are other signs of phlegm.  
These colours may come from burning, as appears in consumptive and leprous persons.  
Green signifies burning, and specially of choler.  
Black and Blue, signifies natural melancholy, or that which is burnt.  
You must also consider the taste, for it ought to be sweet, if it be unsavoury, it signifies phlegm predominant, if bitter, choler, if sour or brackish, melancholy and sour phlegm, if it be salt, it signifies salt phlegm and adustion of humours.  
The scent is also to be considered, if it be sweet and pleasant, it is good if it stink, it shows great putrefaction in the humours.  
Moreover if blood drawn do quickly coagulate or congeal, it is too gross, if it be long and slow to congeal, it is too thin and undigested.  
If it be in a mean, the blood is indifferent.   

APHORISMS of Avicen, Rhasis, Aetius, Montagnanus, Savanarola, and Damascen, and others.  
THey that use much Blood-letting in Youth, are cured after sixty sooner than others, and their natural heat is choked, especially if they are of a cold complexion.  
They who dwell in the fourth or sixth climate, may lose more blood than they that live in the seventh, first, second or third.  
They who have weak Stomaches, and cold weak Hearts and Livers, and Cold, and have cold Diseases, must not be let blood, nor melancholic persons, except their veins be swollen. Nor pale, lean, starved, or such as eat melancholic food, nor such as use too much Venery, nor such as have a Dysentery or Iliack, or are much bound in Belly, nor such as have not bodies prepared, nor such as are seventy, except they be strong, and have broadful veins, and used it, and when there is necessity.  
At sixty open not the Cephalick.  
At fifty open not the Median.  
At seventy take heed of opening the black vein.  
It is good for phlegmatic persons to open a Vein when the Moon is in Aries or Sagittarius  
For Melancholic, when she is in Libra or Aquarius.  
For Choleric, when she is in Cancer or Pisces.  
In the New and Full, abstain from Phlebotomy.  
Let Youths from fourteen to twenty five bleed in the first quarter.  
From twenty five to thirty five, in the second.  
From thirty five to sixty five, in the third quarter of the Moon.  
Bleed in the morning when the Sun is risen after an hour, two or more of sleep.  
After noon, open the Head, Hand, and Feet veins, and the Arms in the morning.  
Let old and sick people eat Broth and drink Wine an hour or two before.  
They who sweat easily and often want Blood-letting.  
Usual accustomed Bleeding is not to be omitted without danger.  
After Bleeding, drink thin and good Wine: avoid Mead, Ale, Fish, and what breeds bad blood.  
Bleeding when there is no necessity doth more hurt than good.  
After Bleeding, avoid bad Air, eat white Bread, well baked Veal, Hens, Chickens, Lamb, rear Eggs, and that which breeds good humours and blood, drink pure Wine clear and thin, abstain from Cheese, Milk, Herbs, Fish, Ale, and Meath, Anaer, Sadness and Copulation.
