75. Hæmorrhois.) Paulus Ægineta tells us, persons bit by an hæmorrhois are tormented with pains, their bodies become short and small, there is a violent hæmorrhage from the wound, and if there is a cicatrix in any part of the body, it bursts and bleeds: the stools are bloody, the blood discharged is grumous, blood is brought up from the lungs by coughing; and being seized with a vomiting of blood they die immediately. He adds, that remedies must be applied before the symptoms appear; for after they come on, all means are vain.
