BLEEDING
ALWAYS IMPROPER.


that Book Of Books, the Bible, We fnd.-'The life
is in the Blood'-Gen. *. A. The life of the
flesh is in the blood Lev xvii. IL. Blood is
the life of the fesh.-Lev. vii. %. God hath
made of ONE BLOOD all nations of men. Acts
xix 26. In this last quotation two important
truths are set forth-rsf, the constituting princi-
pie of men-'we are all made of BLOOD second,
the sameness OF our bodily constitutions-'We
are all made of one blood BY its circular mo-
ton, it keeps up the life in every organ ofthe
body Blood gives health; it produces the real

it is streangIh and life. And yet people think
we can have too much of this important and
most valuable fluid, Do trees die from too great
quantities ofsapl No. And shall impious man

lido not deny that when man is bled, "a portion
of the serosity or bad humor comes away with
the blood; the temporary relief is due TO the E.
vacuation Of that portion of matter, the efficient
cause of disorder in the circulation.
| FALLS, ACCIDENTS, &c. &c.
i No good can result, even in falls and bruises,
rim any accidents, from letting blood. Neither
internal nor external diseases can be benefited
by such false practice. For, TO kill a man to
save his life, cannot be sustained. / cannot ad-
