Even in my day, they were still using LEECHES in barber shops. A man would come in with a black eye, after a night of fighting, and the barber would take a live LEECH out of a jar and place it under the man's eye on the skin, and the LEECH would attach itself, and suck out the blood. The skin would still be a little blue, but the swelling would go down. Those men must have lived a very rough life back then. Pat, in Indiana
