DU CHESNE, Traicté de la cure générale, 1625

Rare second edition in french (first in 1576 in Lyon).
Two spagiric medicine texts by Joseph Du Chesne, the first feature of gunshot wounds. The assumption then was that the projectiles not only caused wounds of the flesh but also an envenomation which makes these wounds more difficult to heal.
The second text, a spagiric antidote, is a pure treatise on alchemical medicine exposing the doctrines of Paracelsus, of which Du Chesne was a defender.
