It was about 300 years from William Harvey's publication of his insights into the circulation of the blood before bloodletting fell out of common use. De Motu Cordis was published in 1628 - 'An Anatomical Exercise on the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Living Beings'. The last medical text recommending palliative bloodletting was published in the 1920's (iirc). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Harvey#De_Motu_Cordis…
Even speakers of more common languages like English used Latin for science. Newton wrote the Principia in Latin and William Harvey wrote De Motu Cordis (the book that showed that the heart was a pump that circulated blood) in Latin, for example.
从威廉·哈维发表关于血液循环的见解，到放血疗法彻底退出日常实践，大概经历了 300 年。《心血运动论》（De Motu Cordis）出版于 1628 年——全称是《关于动物心脏与血液运动的解剖学研究》。最后一本推荐姑息性放血的医学文献出版于 1920 年代（如果我没记错的话）。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Harvey#De_Motu_Cordis…

哪怕是说英语这种较通用语言的人，过去在搞科学时也用拉丁语。比如，牛顿用拉丁语写了《自然哲学的数学原理》（Principia），威廉·哈维也是用拉丁语写了《心血运动论》（De Motu Cordis，也就是证明心脏是一个泵送血液的器官的那本书）。
