Excerpt from A Treatise on Clinical Medicine Thus, after the subsidence Of the acute stage Of inflammation, we have a powerful stimulant to the internal circulation by dry Cupping, which is especially useful in the bronchitis Of adults. Likewise the application Of a blister is actively stimulant to the internal circula tion, but should not be applied in the first stage Of the inflammation. These considerations lead directly to the whole subject Of counter irritation. Thus, the effect Of local bloodletting is always sedative. I have relieved the agonizing paroxysms Of dyspnea from a thoracic aneurysm by a single leech applied at the notch Of the sternum. A further illustration Of this law is found in the saving Of life from a quickly fatal postpartum hemorrhage by dashing cold water upon the abdomen or, better yet, by the sudden, intense cold Of the ether spray. Of course, this arrest of the hemorrhage is not due to the general cool ing Of the parts involved, but acts only through reflex vasomotor as sociation.
