The red seed of the plant called "pæmonia"[1] arrests hæmorrhage; the root also is possessed of similar properties. But it is clymenus[2] 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[3] also is taken in drink, applied topically, or introduced into the nostrils; or else seed of plantago,[4] 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[5] also, and root of astragalus.[6] Ischæmon[7] and achillea[8] likewise arrest hæmorrhage.
