Long Life, Short Art

is, which, just like Aconitum monkshood, Datura jimsonweed, Flammula Jovis clematis/virgin's bower, and Pulsatilla pasqueflower, he has placed among the effective remedies, established by reason and experience. To these must be added electrical machines: auri fulminantis fulminating gold: Kermis mineralis mineral kermes, called in French poudre des Chartreus Carthusian powder: the inventions of Phosphorus and Camphor; if they are used according to genuine indications, they are most noble. To these, if not as inventions, yet to the brevity of the art, must be added the observations and cures committed to public light by the most celebrated practitioners. Thus, the magnificent de HAEN every year [publishes] his observations and cures in the clinical college. The magnificent HASENÖRHL, Archiater chief physician to His Royal Highness the most serene Grand Duke of Tuscany, was at that time physician to the Spanish hospital. The magnificent de STÖRCK, mentioned a little earlier, [spent] many years as a physician to the Pazmanian hospital, which his highly industrious successor COLIN continues. The most learned PLENCIZ has left behind published works on the worm-like nature of putrid diseases, on scarlet fever, and on cattle plague. The most noble ab HOMBOURG [left works] on the diseases that were epidemic in the Ragusan territories at that time. If, furthermore, we consider the vast work on legal medicine by Paulus ZACCHIAS, reduced to a compendium by TEICHMEYER: if the treatise on the report of wounds by Johannes BOHN: if the work on the preservation of the health of Princes, and the diseases of Vestal Virgins and craftsmen by Bernard RAMAZZINI: if the volumes of medical observations by FORESTI: if we weigh the consultative medicine of Friedrich HOFFMANN, how many inventions are these for the brevity of art, to be savored by the judicious physician with a very easy task.
