Bloodletting by a Youth Crosswise

Scholars have said that if one sees a youth performing bloodletting crosswise, it may indicate the death of a relative. If the youth performs bloodletting lengthwise and blood comes out, it may signify a misfortune from the ruler and the taking of money proportional to the blood. If a scholar performs bloodletting and much blood comes out into a basin, it may indicate illness and loss of money on family and doctors. Bloodletting on the right side indicates an increase in wealth, and on the left, an increase in friends.
