The art of bloodletting was flourishing well before Hippocrates in the

fifth century B.C. By the middle ages, both surgeons and barbers were

specializing in this bloody practice. Barbers advertised with a red

(for blood) and white (for tourniquet) striped pole. The pole itself

represented the stick squeezed by the patient to dilate the veins.<div></div>
