About This Item
38, [2]; [18], 52, [2] pp.Ad 2: Very rare first and only edition of a fierce diatribe by Theodorus Schoon against the evil practices of the ignorant, obscure and lazy pharmacists and their helpers (the so-called plamoters: filthy louts or ragamuffins), especially in The Hague, and the Galen-physicians who make use of their services, on payment and/or bribes of wine and Dutch gin, prescribing the most deadly and decayed medicaments often leading to the patients death instead of healing. Schoon proposes to solve the problem by submitting the pharmacists and assistants to a legally mandated examination overseen by leading physicians. The accusations created a great stir. Many counter attacks were launched.Ad 1: A third counterattack written by an anonymous author or group of authors, which is a civilized, albeit arrogant and vitriolic pseudo-defense of Theodorus Schoon, without pursuing the matter further, dated The Hague, 24 June 1696, and signed by the initials of some pharmacists of The Hague.With the bookplate of Van der Hoeven on the front paste-down. Binding slightly worn around the edges, otherwise in good condition.l Van der Aa, XVII, p. 405; BMN, I, p. 37.
