Another patient is waiting his turn, an old man desiring to be bled behind the ears for headache. After shaving two patches for the purpose, the "bleeder," as he is justly called, makes eighteen scratches close together, about half an inch long. Over these he places a brass cup of the shape of a high Italian hat without the brim.
'I feel as if I 'ad a touch of the dry-rot meself, don't you? said Philpot to Newman, who smiled feebly and cast a sidelong glance at Sweater, who did not appear to notice the significance of the remark, but walked out of the room and began climbing up to the next floor, where Harlow and Sawkins were working. 'Well, there's a bleeder for yer! said Philpot with indignation.
He knew that Dawes often thought about him, and that the man was drawn to him by some bond or other. And yet the two never looked at each other save in hostility. Since he was a superior employee at Jordan's, it was the thing for Paul to offer Dawes a drink. "What'll you have?" he asked of him. "Nowt wi' a bleeder like you!" replied the man.
'Oh, 'Larby, he cried I was holding him; then he he 'Larby, he cried faint, like a lamb that's lost in the mountains and then and then 'Oh, oh, 'Larby, he moaned Sidi, Sidi, I paid that bleeder there and then this way! That's why I'm here!" It was a lie, but 'Larby acted it so well that his voice broke in his throat, and great drops fell from his eyes on to Israel's hand.
Men and brethren of the medical profession, you believe me a heretic in all my professional modes, and only endure me because I do not carry violent hands; but you would bar the sick-room from the bleeder of old. I may attack the lancet, the herbs, the ground-roots, whose doses were only as kindling-wood and sawdust a little more refined, and you will say "Amen" with emphasis.
They were located in the Kemmil dugouts, so away Mac and I went to old Kemmil, where we had been all the previous winter. When we reached the line of dugouts we stuck our head into one and asked where we would find the officer in charge. A voice from a far corner called out, "Oui, the bleeder is in the end dugout, old cock!" We found the officer's dugout without any trouble and reported for duty.
Oliver Appleton, the first reported American bleeder, died at an advanced age, owing to hemorrhage from a bed-sore and from the urethra. Fortunately the functions of menstruation and parturition are not seriously interfered with in hemophilia. Menstruation is never so excessive as to be fatal. Grandidier states that of 152 boy subjects 81 died before the termination of the seventh year.
Presently he called out again, this time with a little note of satisfaction and triumph in his voice. "Darby, Hi sye. I got a leg for that bleeder. Fits 'im perfect." Well, I went over and took a look and to my horror found that the fool had stuck a German leg on the body, high boot and all. I wouldn't stand for that and had it out again.
The argument waxed long and loud, and in the end the Kid was vanquished, borne down by superior numbers. The popular verdict was that Old Man Curry ought to be ashamed of himself for owning and starting a confirmed bleeder like Jeremiah. On get-away day the speculative soul whose financial operations show a loss makes a determined effort to plunge a red-ink balance into a black one.
Look here: 'Jeremiah bled and was pulled up. 'Jeremiah bled badly. Why, everybody around here knows that he's a bleeder!" "There you go again," said Old Man Curry patiently. "You study them dad-burned dope sheets, and all you can see is what a hoss has done. You listen to me: it ain't what a hoss did last week or last month it's what he's goin' to do to-day that counts."
