Spagyric Anatomy of Mercury

great, singular, and admirable, yet it seems to be truly immense and incredible, especially in METALS and MINERALS. For it is completely known and manifest, more than can be lengthily demonstrated by us here, how much excellent benefit, advantage, and profit redounds and flows from these to this miserable human race.

THis is attested primarily (passing over other utilities now by design) by the almost infinite number and multitude of the most excellent and highly praised Remedies, cleverly unearthed and extracted from metallic bodies for the most successful overthrow and eradication of many stubborn and often deemed incurable diseases, by the hand of a grave and skilled Chymiatrist original: "Chymiatri" and one expert in the art of Pyrotechnics. Without their protection or aid, it is sometimes barely possible for a physician, however learned and experienced, to proceed happily in the Art, or to weave through the web of a treatment once begun with prosperous success, or to perform and accomplish anything else that deserves singular praise.
