” Blood letting with LEACHES”? Leach – a perforated vessel or trough used for making lye from wood ash …; the pit in which tan liquors are mixed; the brine which drains from the salt .. when the salt is drawn out; a quantity of wood ash through which water passes and thus imbibes the alkali. (Shorter Oxford English Dictionary). Perhaps it is the study of the English language which needs help – not just the History of Medicine?

Comments on: How should the History of Medicine be studied?
