    I hope hereafter to adduce a series of well- marked cases in illustration of the application of these principles in practice ; and especially of the limits, exceptions, and corrections which it may be necessary to point out, in reference to the rule for bloodletting, which I have proposed. This point might be illustrated, in some degree, by an examination of the records of medicine. The general result of such an exami- nation will be found to accord with the principles which I have laid down. But few particular instances could be adduced, on account of the almost universal neglect of attention to the position of the patient, in which bloodletting has been instituted.
