CHAP. 82.—REMEDIES FOR HÆMORRHAGE.
The red seed of the plant called “pæonia”[1477] arrests hæmorrhage; the root also is possessed of similar properties. But it is clymenus[1478] that should be employed, when there are discharges of blood at the mouth or nostrils, from the bowels, or from the uterus. In such cases, lysimachia[1479] also is taken in drink, applied topically, or introduced into the nostrils; or else seed of plantago,[1480] or cinquefoil, is taken in drink, or employed in the form of a liniment. Hemlock seed is introduced into the nostrils, for discharges of blood there, or else it is pounded and applied in water; aizoüm.[1481] also, and root of astragalus.[1482] Ischæmon[1483] and achillea[1484] likewise arrest hæmorrhage.
