The Golden Calf, Which the World Adores, and Desires: In Which Is Handled the Most Rare and Incomparable Wonder of Nature, in Transmuting Metals; viz. How the Intire Substance of Lead, Was in One Moment Transmuted in Gold-Obrizon, with an Exceeding Small Particle of the True Philosophick Stone
Helvetius, Johann Friedrich
Alchemy
The juice of the parts of Luke,
is changed into a Saline, and drying
sharpness; whence, under the
Skin of the Arms and Legs, arise
Precipitations of the ordinary Ferment
of the Flesh, and Exficcations,
as usually happens in this
Atrophia, yea most frequently in
the true Atrophia. But in the Pest,
they become most ardent Buboes,
with madness, even until death.
Behold, my Friend, no Physician,
by one only Universal Medicament,
can heal the Evil of
this Scorbutick, or Pestilential, or
Febrile Venome, but indeed, by
the Mediation of some particular
Vegetable, or Mineral Remedy,
given to us from God in Nature, he
may exterminate the same. For,
as I cannot heal, or help all Scorbutick
Persons, with one only Scorbutick
Herb, as Scurvy-grass, or
Sorrel, or Fumitory, or Brooklime;
so, much less of a certain
remedy made of these diverse Species
congested into one; because,
between the Herbs Scurvy-grass and
Sorrel, there is an Antipathy, as
between Fire and Water; and so
there is the same Antipathy
between the Herbs Fumitory and
Brook-lime.
Therefore, the Correctory of
Peters Scorbutick Saline acid
tinging Venome, is made with the
Volatile bitter Salt of Scurvy-grass.
But the Correctory of Pauls
Scorbutick Saline bitter tinging
Venome, is made with the acid
fixed Salt of the Herb Sorrel.
The Correctory of Matthias his
Scorbutick sweetish, and moistning
tinging Venome is made by the help
of the fixed bitter drying Sulphur
of the Herb Fumitory.
And the Correctory of Lukes
Scorbutick tinging Saline and
drying Venome, is made with the
help of the sweet moistning Mercury
of the Herb Brook-lime, or
red Colewort, as from the External
Signature of these Herbs, it is
easie to judge of the Internal Specifick
Remedy against there diverse
Scorbutick Disease. Certainly,
my Friend, if this be observed
by a prudent Physician, he
must needs doubt of the Universal
Medicine,
Artist.
All you have discoursed of, I
can easily grant; yet very few
Physicians use this Method of
healing. Yet, in the meanwhile,
it is not impossible, that an Universal
Medicine should be given in
the highest Mineral Kingdome,
by the benefit of which we may
perform and administer all things,
which are by you related to me,
touching the lowest Kingdom of
Vegitables; but the most wise God,
for several weighty reasons, hath
not on all Philosophers promiscuously
conferred this most magnificent
Charisma of Supereminent
Science, but hath revealed it only;
to a very few. According as all
the Adept, with one mouth, confess,
and say: The Science is true,
And, the verity thereof not to be
doubted.
