Regarding, the CHYMICAL MEDICINE


of JOHANNES POPPIUS



Wherein all processes are carefully examined, corrected of errors, and augmented and illustrated by several hundred new processes and secret manipulations taken from his own experience,



Where also the right use of medicines is verified by several hundred case histories,in addition to a complete revelation of what is to be done with them in surgery, and alchemy, or the transmutations of metals.For all persons of respectability, physicians, surgeons, chymists, barbers, army-surgeons, horse-doctors, goldsmiths, and all householders most useful to read and use. Oportet sapietiam transferre ad medicinam, & medicinam ad sapientiam. Medicus enim Philosophus est Deo aequalis.

Quote of the Day

“If the bodies are not dissolved by our Living Water, if they are not imbibed and softened by it and thus open and stripped of their hard mass to be reduced to pure and subtile spirit, our work will be nothing but a useless deception. As long as the bodies have not been converted into non-bodies, that is, into their first matter, the rule and the key of our Art will not be found. Thus, the only goal of our Art is to make bodies fluid hard and solid in order to make the Tinture.”
