io6 Of bad veins after BLEEDING. 



caufe the part to fwell and fweat much. When the fwcUIng^ 

 and fweating abates, and the part is become clear from fcurf,. 

 from the effeft of the above drefling, repeat the above in all 

 refpefts, as above-mentioned. Then on the other hand, if 

 the Vein is corded hard and callous, and fcems to be putrified, 

 and doth appear to creep up to the vives or glands: then 

 make ufe as follows. Obferve to ftrike a fleam into the cord(?d 

 vein right upon the part where he was bled: make four holes 

 with the fleam, in the compafs of a fhilling-piece ; then take 

 Yellow Arfenic, about the fize of a fmall pea, in fine powder, 

 mix with it about twice as much Black Soap ; put the whole 

 on the fleamed part and temper it well in, with the point of a 

 knife, and fo let it remain on: and if the Vein is much fwelled^ 

 and corded hard, you mufl fleam it in two or three places 

 more, as before du'ecled, and be fure to make one of the in- 

 cifions at the upper part of the putrified Vein, in order to flop 

 it, before it gets up to the Glands or Vives ; then apply the 

 Arfenic and Black Soap as before directed, upon every fleamed 

 part : then tie his head up to the rack for fome days, and be 

 fure to keep him from rubbing the part. 



The above application will caufe a core or fub fiance to 

 come out of each part tliat was fleamed and cauftic. When 

 the part begins to crack around, fcald it with equal parts of 

 Black Pitch, Tar, and TalloW made quite fcaldmg-hot toge- 

 ther, and then dafhed or poured into the wounds. Obferve 

 to fcald the part every other day. As fo, continue until fuch 

 time as the core comes out: then omit the fcalding; that is, 

 once every fourth day; then nature alone will perform the 

 cure. Or the following cauflic may be ufed inftead of the 

 above, which will penetrate deeper.
