Zacutus Lusitanus speaks of a Goldsmith, who when he fell into a Fever by labouring at the Furnace, being of a strong constitution, lost much blood by opening a vein, and amended, so that the seventh day (having had an itching of his gums, and a pain in the lower lip) the blood gushed from the veins of his lower gums for three days in such quantity, that he lost above three pints more; and the more he bled, the more his Fever abated, and when it was gone, the blood stopped.
Dodonaeus reports, that a certain Quarrier, ha∣ving the small Pox, had a Flux of Blood from his gums, and being stopt, it made the Urine bloody, which being stopt, it returned again to the gums, and there continued till he reco∣vered.
The Gums bleed Symptomatically, when the blood is sharp, and the Liver or Spleen distem∣pered; Sic in Scorbuto familiaris est hujusmodi sanguinis è gingivis effluxus.
If it come from a tooth drawn, after revul∣sion by blood-letting, you may apply to the part a Cataplasm of Bole Armoniack, Terra Sigillata, Sanguis Draconis, and the like A∣stringents made up with the white of an Egg. If that do not suffice, you may lay the Pa∣tients finger upon the part, and let him hold it there till the blood congeal above the orifice of the Artery.

Zacutus Lusitanus relates a History of one who having a grievous tooth that ached, drew it violently forth, and after had a great Flux of blood, from the Artery torn, which when it could not be stopped by blood-letting, cupping, and Astringents, nor by laying on the finger, nor by burnt Vitriol, at last by his advice the place was filled with Gum Arabick, which stopt it in three hours space, for it hath power to stop, cool glutinate, and dry.
A certain strong Souldier, who after great pain violently drew forth a tooth, and bled much from the Artery under the tooth, for two days; the best Physicians use all Astringents to the part, with Revulsives, and burn the Artery with a hot Iron, but all in vain, for he bled still even unto death: Zacutus being called, applied the Plaister of Galen, made of Frankincense, Aloes, the hairs of an Hare poudered, and mix∣ed with the white of an Egg, by which in a few hours the blood stopt, and the Patient re∣covered. Next follows the Affects of the jaw-bones.
