Cupping Vessels, 16th Century

These are vessels for cupping, an ancient practice that has roots at least as far back as Greece and Rome. It has connections to humoral medicine and bleeding. The cup was placed open side down on the patient's body, and then heated, creating a partial vacuum inside the cup that drew blood to the surface of the skin. Bleeding was then started, either with a lancet or a scarifier. The 1585 edition of ParÃ©'s Oeuvres (Collected Works) represents the final summary of his life's work. It has over twelve hundred folio pages, with nearly 400 illustrations drawing upon a lifetime of practice. Four editions of the Oeuvres were published during his lifetime, and this is the last and the most complete. Often his descriptions of difficult cases end with the same simple sentence, "I treated him, but God cured him." Ambroise ParÃ© (1510 - December 20, 1590) was a French surgeon, anatomist, inventor and one of the fathers of surgery and modern forensic pathology.
