Spanish term or phrase: la sangría practicada por G.L.
From a novel set in the 17th century.

Contexto: "Los primeros días de verano fueron fechas de agitación en el almacén y la actividad desaforado desplegada por don Bernardo vino a restablecerle de la plétora causada por sus excesos gastronómicos, restablecimiento al que ayudó sin duda la sangría practicada por Gaspar Laguna que, en su día, había intervenido también a su señora inútilmente".

I've looked at the glossary entries but haven't really found a suitable way to render this.
Thank you.

Asker: Thanks, Eva. I think something like"the bloodletting performed by Gaspar Laguna" should work fine.
