Dear 18thcentury list, Can anyone help me in my pondering about the
uses--real or symbolic--of human hair, especially for medicinal purposes,
in particular the binding up of wounds? Or indeed anything to do with
properties of hair, severed or unsevered (other than Samson, Donne and
Pope). Any thoughts, articles etc. that anyone can suggest would be
greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Myra.
