always to do this; To miss the Master Vein, if it lye lengthwise in the body, be sure to cut under the Vein; If it be a Sore upon the Leg, that lyes right over the Vein, then cut it side∣wayes of the Vein right up and down. If a Sore happen to be hollow a great length, be it in Bo∣dy or Legs, then cut a hole at the lowest place, that the filth may drain from the Sore the bet∣ter, then put in your finger under the Vein, and when your finger is past the Vein upwards as far as it will go, cut at your fingers end another hole, and if you fee occasion, turn your finger to an∣other place, and at your fingers end cut another hole. If you chance at any time to cut a Vein in pieces, put in a piece of a Hares—skin with the wool on, or Cony wool, but Hares is best, and this will stop the bleeding. Proved.
That Hares wool will stop bleeding sooner than most things: See Receipt, To stop bleeding in Veins that be cut.
