"He hath my order for such interference," said the Regent "Has any one been hurt?" "George of Seyton himself, by black Ralph Leslie the devil take the rapier that ran not through from side to side! Ralph has a bloody coxcomb, by a blow from a messan-page whom nobody knew Dick Seyton of Windygowl is run through the arm, and two gallants of the Leslies have suffered phlebotomy.
This practitioner having viewed the whole figure, and more particularly the head of Crowe, in silent wonder, proceeded to feel his pulse, and then declared, that as the inflammation was very great, and going on with violence to its acme, it would be necessary to begin with copious phlebotomy, and then to empty the intestinal canal.
By the frequency of the wine-shops we judged that the legions were a thirsty host, and by the number of the barber-surgeons' shops, that they were a plethoric and too full-blooded host. The latter shops were in the proportion of one to five of the former; and the artist who had painted their signs had indulged his fancy in wild excesses of phlebotomy.
"I answer you for the last time," said Jones, "I will not." "Then I wash my hands of you," cries the doctor; "and I desire you to pay me for the trouble I have had already. Two journeys at 5s. each, two dressings at 5s. more, and half a crown for phlebotomy." "I hope," said Jones, "you don't intend to leave me in this condition." "Indeed but I shall," said the other.
Stacy were endeavoring to apply such scanty restoratives consisting principally of lavender and hot bricks as the place afforded.

"What the d -l does the man mean by phlebotomy?" exclaimed Sir Gervaise, who had an aversion to medicine, and knew scarcely any of the commonest terms of practice, though expert in bleeding.
On the contrary, it has pursued me without intermission. I have undergone cathartic, emetic, and phlebotomy, operations not experienced by me in twenty years, and all to no purpose. The pain continues, but to-day has allowed me to leave my bed for an hour or so at a time.
Having done with them, Dartrey tossed the Demerara to Skepsey, and washed his hands of battle; and he let his major go unscathed. Phlebotomy sufficient for the day! Nesta's ears hummed with the name of Major Worrell. 'Skepsey did come back to London with a rather damaged frontispiece, Victor said. 'He can't have joined those people?
My report concluded with these words: "With regard to the enterprise on which I have had the honour to be consulted I offer my opinion with humility. It is, however, a fixed one.
