But it is clymenus1478 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, lysimachia1479 also is taken in drink, applied topically, or introduced into the nostrils; or else seed of plantago,1480 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.1481 also, and root of astragalus.1482 Ischæmon1483 and achillea1484 likewise arrest hæmorrhage.
