Description
João Curvo Semmedo (1635-1719) built a reputation and a fortune on proprietary remedies with names that promised much, and spent his career defending them against colleagues who thought him a charlatan and an Inquisition that watched what he wrote. The truth is more interesting than either verdict: he was a careful clinician who also sold secrets, and his books preserve both the observation and the salesmanship of Iberian medicine at the turn of the eighteenth century. This Spanish edition of 1731 appeared after his death, when the remedies were still being made. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1731 edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
