Description: PHARMACOPOEIA EXTEMPORANEA: OR, A BODY OF MEDICINES, CONTAINING A THOUSAND SELECT PRESCRIPTS, ANSWERING MOST INTENTIONS OF CURE. To which are added, Useful Scholia, a Catalogue of remedies, and Copius Index, for the Assistance of young Physicians. The Second Edition, with large Additions, By the Author Thomas Fuller, M. D. Cantab. By Thomas Fuller, M.D. Published: Printed for William Innys, at the Prince's Arms in St Paul's Church-yard, London., 1714. [18] + 13 + [1] + 512 pp. + 32 p. index. Illustrated by head- and tailpiece vignettes and decorated initials. Bound in original calf with decorated blind stamped panels; spine divided into compartments by raised bands, with recent paper label. Some wear to extremities and hinges weak. A little worming of endpapers confined to edges. Some browning and staining but otherwise fine condition. An English edition of a Pharmacopoeia first published in Latin in 1701. It is arranged by remedy, with a catalogue of medicines at the beginning and an index of ailments, referring to the remedies at the end. Many are herbally based, but Fuller employs some unusual ingredients, e.g.' A Cephalic Infusion. Take dry Peacocks Dung (the white part) 4 Ounces; Millipedes alive bruis'd 1 Ounce.It cleanses out the Meatus of the Brain, when choak'd up and grown unpassable by reason of muddy Feculencies; roborates its Tone when flaccid and sunk; .refreshes and invigorates. when feeble and fainting; discusses the Mists and Clouds of the Head, and procures Serenity and Sun-shine.' Another remedy requires the use of beetles and minced eel-skins. In his preface to the physicians, Fuller uses equally robust language to condemn the contemporary practice of dedicating books to the great and the good: 'that which scandalizes me most of all is, to see an Author with a Panegyrical Dedication in his Hand, cringe, and crawl after a Purse-proud Citizen, or self-seeking Courtier, in hopes of a gracious Nod; now and then a Dinner; perhaps a Gratuity; or a Promise of helping him (if he wait long enough) into some petty Place of Profit.' Dr. Thomas Fuller (1654-1734) was born in Sussex and educated at Queens' College, Cambridge, being admitted to the Royal College of Physicians in 1679 and MD in 1681. He established himself at Sevenoaks, Kent, buying the new Red House and drawing some of his practice from wealthy invalids visiting Tunbridge Wells. Fuller published three Pharmacopoeia in his lifetime and this Extemporanea was also published in a new Latin edition in the same year, 1714. NATURAL HISTORY/SCIENCE MEDICINE MEDICINE 18TH CENTURY NATURAL HISTORY/SCIENCE.A nice copy of this SCARCE work. Not Ex-Lib. I've done my best to describe the book, but if you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.
