Chemistry, Medicine, and Gold-Making - Paul Ferguson - 10-09-2023
Tycho Brahe, Helwig Dieterich, Otto Tachenius, and Johann Glauber
by Dr. Curt Wentrup
"Three major objectives of 17th century chemists were the preparation of proper chemicals, the preparation of herbal and inorganic medicines (iatrochemistry), and the making of gold by transmutation of lesser metals. The doctrines of Aristotle and Paracelsus that all things were made from the same, primary constituents, implied the feasibility of transmutation."
