Traité de la saignée

Règles à observer pour placer comme il faut les différentes saignées dans tous les cas de pratique, suivant les vraies indications. The first three leaves contain 'Mémoire du travail dans notre maison, achetée en Grange, à Jean Aren, habittant, à Guihan.' This is dated 1810-11, but is possibly written by the same hand as that of the medical text. The work is unfinished, and contains extracts from the 'Manuel de la saignée' published at Brest in 1746 by Etienne Chardon de Courcelles [1705-1775], whose name is found on the verso of leaf 11, line 1 as 'Monsieur de Couelle'.
