THE USE OF THE LEECH THEIR MEDICENAL VIRTUE “"AS ONCE HIGHLY ESTEEMED. Some Druggists Stale That App‘ficalion of Leechcs ls Not to Be Re- commended. Lecches are mostly bought by people who have had a blow or fall, causing a blue spot to appear where the blood has congested. They apply leeches to take out the blood from these spots. The best leeches are known as the {Mediterranean leech and come from San Guiguela, Spain. They are about three inches long. with msoft smooth body tapering to each extremity, and are marked with from ninety to’one hundred fine annulations; their backs are olive green with six rusty red long- itudinal stripes. The ends are termin- ated by suckers. DANGER IN THEIR USE. A peculiar medical law provides that a druggist must not apply a leech. He may sell them to persons, but only a doctor is allowed to apply it. One well- known druggist told The Star that he once applied a leech to an abrasion on u . “Una WW -m, ._ ,. man's forehead, because a doctor could not be got as the hour was late. “After the leech had gorged itself and rolled off the mark left by the leech bled so profusely that it look me over four hours to stop it; and then the man’s face was ten times worse with the marks left by the acids I had to use." ,,,.‘_,_.4 a- :n drop its tail first into a narrow bottle, and then invert the bottle over the spot where the leech is supposed to go to work. If it does not attach itself readily a little sweet oil rubbed on the spot will sometimes be effective. The leech near- ly always falls off after it has gorged itself. Some druggists put salt on a leech after it, has been applied to a person, and this makes them sick, and they emit all the blood. This practice is very dangerous, as the leech may have been applied to a person who was suffering from some infectious disease, and no “matter how long after it is applied the second time there is always a danger of blood poisoning. They are very excitable, and may be Iseen stretching their bodies along the ,glass side of the bottle or bowl in which they are kept. At times you may see them writhing excitedly through the The“ favori'léiinelhod employed to in- duce a leech to fasten itself to the part whence the blood is to be drawn is to water, after the tiny animalculae that constitute their diet. They are only fairly good swimmers, but have extra- rordinary vigor. Some druggists state that the applica- tion of leeches is not to be recommend- ed; the cure is almost as bad as the dis- ease. The leech has three small, sharp, tsemi-circular teeth that radiate from a ycentre. They cut deep, and always {leave a scar of the same shape as them- ;selves. On the common leech the mouth where the cutting teeth are found is at {the anterior sucking disc. Just back of tthis, and on the upper side, are ten ’small black spots that serve for eyes. The usual quantity of blood drawn by an javerage leech averages from one drachm -'to half an ounce. It is digested very ,slowly. and after being gorged in this manner, the leech lies for several days 'ibefore it regains its normal size and ap- gpearance. .. . .,‘ -,,,., Leeches possess wonderful power in extending and contracting their bodies. One moment they are stretched out to three inches, the next they are curled up in a tiny ball.
