Description |
English: Title page from The marrow of chymical physick : or, The practice of making chymical medicines. Divided in three books : viz. shewing the true and perfect order to distil, or draw forth from vegetables, minerals, and metals, their spirits, oyls, vinegars, salts, extracts, or tinctures, essences, and magisteries, flowers, and salts, &c. Whereunto is added at the end of every such preparation, its most excellent vertue and medicinal use, for the preservation of health, and restoring the diseased to sanity. A rare way of making metaline glass of any colour whatsoever. Very useful for the making artificial rubies, saphirs, jacinths, &c. Likewise for the enamiling of rings, or for jewels ; being very excellent and easie by W. T. (William Thrasher) philo-astro-medicus, and student in chymistry. London : Printed by T. J. for Peter Parker, 1669.
Alchemy developed applications in medicine known as “physick” (hence the English word physician). Physick’s kinship with the rest of alchemy is illustrated in this book, which also contains instructions for making colored glass and artificial gems. |
