It's not incredibly obvious if you have not read the DnD Player's 
Handbook.  You cure bleeding by stabalizing via the Heal skill or any 
clerical type healing.  On a successful heal roll of 15, the character 
is stabalized at whatever negative hit points he is at, and stops 
bleeding.  With clerical-type healing, he is healed by however many hit 
points as normal, and if still negative, stops bleeding.
