flesh is in the blood.'-Lev. xvii IL. Blood is

truths are set forth-hrsf the constituting princi-

the sameness of our bodily constitutions-'We

it is streangth and life. And yet people think

FALLS, ACCIDENTS, &c. &c.
No good can result, even in falls and bruises,
orin any accidents, from letting blood Neither
internal nor external diseases can be benefited
by such false practice. For, to kill man to

good purpose, and relieve the circulation sooner
than bleeding, without the after weakning effect.
