Examples
-
So poor Barty had the seton put in by a kind of barber-surgeon, and was told how to dress it night and morning; got his medicines and his dry-cupping apparatus, and went off to Blankenberghe quite hopeful.
The Martian George Du Maurier 1865
-
He also killed time with his seton-dressing and self dry-cupping -- and hired French novels and read them as much as he dared with his remaining eye, about which he was morbidly nervous; he always fancied it would get its retina congested like the other, in which no improvement manifested itself whatever -- and this depressed him very much.
