A jar for keeping medicinal<unk> es Hirudo medicinalis, a medicinal<unk> , attached to the skin A<unk> ,<unk>  gatherer, or<unk>  finder was a person occupied with procuring medicinal<unk> es, which were in growing demand in 19th-century Europe.<unk> es were used in bloodletting but were not easy for medical practitioners to obtain. The<unk>  would sometimes gather the<unk> es by attracting them to the legs of animals, often old horses. More commonplace was for the<unk>  to use their own legs, gathering the<unk>  after it had finished sucking enough blood. Many in the profession suffered from the effects of the loss of blood and infections spread by the<unk> es.<unk> s were active across the United Kingdom, with bogs and marshes being the best hunting ground. They were described by artist George Walker in his 1814 book The Costume of Yorkshire as being predominately Scottish women. The career was seasonal;<unk> s could not work in the colder months because the<unk> es would not be particularly active. There are obvious negative effects of being repeatedly bitten by<unk> es, most commonly the significant and dangerous levels of blood loss. The<unk> es would suck on the legs of the<unk>  for 20 minutes or more, and even when they had finished the resultant wound continued to bleed for up to ten hours.<unk> s were not well paid. William Wordsworth's poem Resolution and Independence, written in 1802 and published in 1807, was inspired by an encounter Wordsworth had with a<unk> -gatherer". In Stanza XV he describes the hardships that the old, poor<unk>  had endured: Parts of the poem have been interpreted as drawing similarities between<unk> s and poets, comparing the difficulties of finding<unk> es with the struggle to write poetry. The old man in the story is said to "have wisdom and fortitude that can elevate the wiser poet".
