title: [The influence of the moon on bleeding].
abstract: The theory of the influence of the stars and in particular of the moon to bleeding was most important in the 17th century; However, a survival of this belief was noted during springtime bleeding or treatment of mare sterility, seldom on other circumstances, in some traditional regions of France from 1930 to 1960. The results presented in the paper are obtained 1990-91 by enquiring of approx. 3.500 French veterinarians graduated 1911-1957.
