    Mittere autem sanguinem cum sit expeditissimuin usum habenti; tamen ignaro difficillimum.’’—To let blood is extremely easy to an experienced operator, but very difficult to one who is ignorant. “ Idque auxilium [sc. cucurbitulae], ut minus vehemens, itamajus tutum; neque unquam periculosum.”—And this remedy, cupping, as it is less violent, so it is more safe; nor is it ever attended with danger. Celsus, lib. ii. cap. 11.
