XV. It oftentimes happens that in separating of the Contused Parts, that great Hemorrhages succeed, as also after the separating of an Escar: in this Case you must stop the Orifices, by applying some Astringent Pouder; some use that of Galen, made of Aloes, Frankincense, and Hares-wooll.
XVI. Others use Dr. Gardner's Styptick, rouling up the Wound with a good Compress, dipt in some Styptick Liquor, such as this: ℞ Colcothar, Burnt Allum, Su∣gar-candy, A. ℥i. Ʋrine of a young Person, Rose-water, A.℥xvi. Plantan-water ℥xxxii. mix, and stir the Liquor for a long time, then let it settle, keeping it upon the Faeces, and pour off the clear by Inclination, when you have occasion to use it.
XVII. Bolsters, or double Cloths, &c. may be dipt in this Water, and laid upon an open Artery, and held close with the Hand, till the Blood stops; also a small Tent, (according as the Wound may be, may be dipt or soak'd in it, and put into the Part) this Li∣quor taken inwardly, stops also the Bloody-flux, and all Hemor∣rhodial and Menstrual Fluxes, being given à ʒss. ad ʒii. in Knot-grass, or Comfrey water.
XVIII. Lastly, over all some common Defensive may be laid, and the Wound is not to be o∣pened till three or four Days af∣ter. See lib. 3. cap. 15, and 16. and cap. 4. and 9. of this fourth Book.
