The main problem of leech therapy related to excessive bleeding
following the removal of leeches... Another problematical situation
was the inadvertent escape of leeches into the throat or stomach.
The period 1800 to 1825 saw the beginnings of scientific
exploration and debate, most of the basis for later developments.
This learned overview provides fascinating information about
beliefs in galvanism and bioelectric machinery, blood-letting,
killing cesareans without anesthesia, the influence of weather and
the moon, drugs, vaccination, more. Heavily illustrated.
