Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Leeches of Minnesota, Vol. 5: Part I. General Account of the Habits and Structure of Leeches; Part II. Anatomy of Placobdella Parasitica; Part III. Classification of the Leeches of Minnesota The leeches, also cald blood suckers by people in general and Hirudinea by the scientist, are distributed all over the world. They are mentioned in the writings of many of the ancients. Herodotus, who was born about 480 B. C. Wrote about the leech under the name bdella, which still forms the ending of some of our scientific names of certain leeches and groups of leeches. Galen, a Greek physician and author born about 130 A. D., recommended the use of the leech for bloodletting. Other Greek and Roman, German, French and English writers wrote about the leech and its habit of sucking blood, so that in a general way leeches became quite well known centuries ago. The medicinal leech in particular became well known thru a great many more or less extended writ ings on its anatomy and habits and was brought into almost uni versal use by physicians. It was continued in quite general use until about the middle of the 19th century. Altho this leech in particular was in such general use and it and others frequently became objects of scientific study, we did not get a correct concep tion of some of the most prominent features of leech structure until 1900. There is still much to be cleared up concerning the structure and life history of many of our leeches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Leech written by Robert G. W. Kirk and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armed with razor-sharp teeth and capable of drinking many times its volume of blood, the leech is an unlikely cure for ill health. Yet that is exactly the role this worm-like parasite has played in both Western and Eastern medicine throughout history. In this book, Robert G. W. Kirk and Neil Pemberton explore how the leech surfaces in radically different spheres. The ancients used them in humeral medicine to bring the four humors of the body—blood, phlegm, and black and yellow bile—back into balance. Today, leeches are used in plastic and reconstructive surgery to help reattach severed limbs and remove pools of blood before it kills tissue. Leeches have also been used in a nineteenth-century meteorological barometer and a twentieth-century biomedical tool that helped win a Nobel Prize. Kirk and Pemberton also reveal the dark side of leeches as they are portrayed in fiction, film, and popular culture. From Bram Stoker’s Dracula to a video game player’s nemesis, the leech is used to represent the fears of science run amok. Leech shines new light on one of humanity’s most enduring and unlikely companions.
