TREATISE OF CHEMISTRY by Christobal Glaser

What can we say about this extraordinary treatise? As Cristóbal Glaser explains, everything he explains in great detail has been experienced by himself and given to patients, there is nothing left to the imagination. He also opposes these alchemists who hide extremely simple processes in a gibberish of words and that in the end the truth is reduced to a simple operation, which Glaser explains in detail. And in this extraordinary exhibition, we see paraded the preparation of a volatile salt of Venus for gonorrhea, of an authentic Tincture of Coral for blood circulation, the authentic urine remedy that, if we remember, Glaser praised him supremely, the preparation of elixirs of plants, minerals, and most interesting of all, a hidden solvent to open the gold, to make it volatile and allow it to pass through distillation. As a corollary, he explains animal pathways and how to obtain unparalleled medicines through the pyrolysis of animal remains. This work contains exceptional knowledge that, if we compare it with texts by alchemists, will be revealed and will also put them in their real position regarding what they deal with. Because what Glaser says is true, alchemists often indulge in fantasy and praise preparations that are not meant to be praised. They never give a dose, nor do they explain the effect produced by their supposed universal medicines. But Glaser does do it and in detail, in which cases it is recommended, the exact dosage, etc. He presented this text to the King who was steeped in operational alchemy and had to dazzle him. But not only the king, I predict that the reader will also be amazed.
