[Elements of medical scholasticism in The Secrets of Alex of Piemont].

In the Secrets of Alex of Piemont, a 16th century prescription book, originally published in Italian and soon after translated into eight European languages (including Polish) one can find curious enumerations of about twenty or even thirty different diseases which can be cured by only one medicine just described. Enumerations of this kind are possible to be find also in some other ancient and Middle Ages works on medicine. The author of the paper makes an attempt to find an explanation of such the curiositiy in Hippocrates' and Galen's humoral theory as well as in scholastic methods of teaching medicine in Middle Ages schools and universities.

[Xin'an Dispensaries and its role in medicine in the Ming-Qing dynasties].

The Xin'an Dispensaries were set up in the Song dynasty, completed in the Ming dynasty and reached its peak of development at the end of the Qing dynasty. The representative ones of the dispensaries include Lu's Baohetang of the Song dynasty, Xu's Baoyuantang, Zhengtian dispensary, and Baoyutang of the Ming dynasty, Hu Xian Chun, Zhongdetang of the Qing dynasty. All these dispensaries were mostly run by the physicians themselves in the Ming dynasty, while they were run by Anhui businessmen in the Qing dynasty. As a union embodying health care, production and trading of traditional handicraft, not a few of them had become famous pharmaceutical factories today, such as Hu Qing Yu Tang, Jianmin Pharmaceutical Factory of Wuhan. Rich experience on production and management were accumulated, alongside achievements on prescription, drug processing, storage, collection and ready-made drug manufacturing.

Some notes on an early nineteenth century manuscript medical receipt book.

There are 97 remedies listed, including 11 veterinary ones. These numbers include several that are duplicates. The commonest types of medicament are salves or ointments, of which there are ten, but these ten do not include ointments for specific complaints such as haemorrhoids or scurvy. The most frequently found cures are for the itch (10), rheumatism (5), gravel (4), pain (4), and piles (3), all the others having only one or two entries. They were intended to treat 39 human complaints and 9 animal ones. In addition there were formulae for killing lice, making rat poison, and preparing damson wine! The number of different medicaments that were used in the recipes was relatively small, but more than were to be found in the smaller sizes of domestic medicine cabinet. In 1820 Reece's Traveller's Dispensary that was flat and would fit in the pocket of a carriage, only contained ten drugs plus court plaster, lint, scales and weights with a book of directions and cost L3.10s.0d. (L3.50). The Lady's Dispensary which contained twenty medicines, including two pills, with some dispensing equipment and a book of directions cost L5.10s.0d. (L5.50). In all, he listed twenty different cabinets and a sea medicine chest ranging in price from L3.10s.0d. to L32.10s.0d. They included ones suitable for the family, country clergymen, and travellers on the continent and in the tropics. In 1862 Savory and Moore stocked a range of sixty-seven different medicine chests and cases in rosewood, mahogany, walnut, boxwood and leather that were fitted with 'modern appliances and conveniences adapted for the requirements of families, clergymen, officers, owners of yachts, and travellers.' Unfortunately no prices are quoted. I think that we can safely assume that the treatment received at the hands of Evan Jones was likely to be rather rough and ready when compared to the ministrations of a physician, surgeon, clergyman or local 'Lady Bountiful', but, nevertheless, must have been of great value to those who could not afford professional treatment.

[The 'Mühldorfer House and Dispensatory' of the 15th century].

This paper shows for the first time that two manuscripts in German and Latin language once belonged together: Cod. Donaueschingen 101 and Cod. Donaueschingen 793, now in the possession of the Badische Landesbibliothek in Karlsruh. Palaeographical and codicological studies show clearly that the 'Visio Philiberti' in German translation was formerly part of a handbook. Several booklets of the fifteenth century are bound together to form a medical, practical and religious guide. The collector of these texts was probably an ecclesiastic who lived in Mühldorf on Inn (Bavaria) or its surroundings. At last the paper presents the descriptions of the above mentioned manuscripts following the rules of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).

[Analysis of hemorrhagic diatheses treated in hospital].

An analysis of the patients hospitalized for haemorrhagic diatheses during the years 1970--1976 leads to the statement that their number had been increasing. It is concluded that the number of stationary treatments might by considerably reduced by regular stomatological check-ups of these patients. Therefore, the authors advocate the establishment of several facilities for regular stomatological check-ups of this group of patients in each district of the GDR.
