In 1707 Nicolas Lemery published his famous Treatise on Antimony. He was born at Rouen on November 17, 1645. After studying pharmacy there under one of his relatives, he went to Paris in 1666 to complete his education. Dissatisfied with his progress under the unsociable but scholarly Christophe Glaser, demonstrator of chemistry at die Jardin du Roi, he resolved to tour France and leam firsthand from the greatest chemists of his day (43). Dr. Clara DeMilt believed however that lAmery gained many of the ideas presented in his textbook from... 

In the opening chapter of his Traite de la chymie in 1663, Christoph Glaser proclaims the same empirical emphasis as Beguin and Le Fevre, but he wrote more easily and clearly with less of the spiritual context. 

The latter half of the seventeenth century is marked by the activity of a considerable number of able investigators and writers on chemistry, notable among whom are Nicolas Le Febre (or Le Febure), ( -1674) Christopher Glaser (died about 1670-1673) Eobert Boyle (1627-1691) Thomas Willis (1621-1675) Johann Kunkel (1630-1702) Johann J. Becher (1635-1682) John Mayow (1645-1679) Nicolas Lemery (1645-1715) and Wilhelm Homberg (1652-1715). All these men contributed to the increase of knowledge of the facts of chemistry by their researches and publications, which appeared from about 1660 to the close of the century. 

As Christopher Glaser said in his Chemical textbook about 1650, "Would you ever feel safe walking down the street knowing that in your vest pocket lay the potential to create ten thousand ounces of gold " In the past, many were imprisoned and tortured to reveal the...

Caustic potash was sometimes used to remove strictures in the urethra or, in solution, as an application to the spine in treating tetanus. A contemporary caustic, silver nitrate, was described in the seventh century A.D. by Geber it remains official in the United States Pharmacopeia as Fused Silver Nitrate. Christopher Glaser, apothecary to Louis XIV, first prepared it in sticks for use as a caustic. ... 

Christoph le Glaser, who succeeded le Febure at the Jar din du Roi, also published a successful Trait/ tU la Chymie in 1663, which appeared in English under the title, The CompUat Chymist (1677), and also in German. 

The answers that authors such as Johann Rudolph Glauber (1604-1670) and Christopher Glaser (c. 1628-1672) gave to these questions in their pharmaceutical writings were quite similar. Glauber explained the precipitation of precious metals by means of non-precious ones in the following way ... 

Seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century chemists beheved that all natural bodies—plants, animals, and minerals—consisted of more or less the same kinds of simple ultimate principles. In the seventeenth century, French chemists such as Etierme de Clave, Nicaise Le Febvre, Christopher Glaser, and Nicolas Lemery proposed five elemental constituents or principles of natural bodies, namely water or pMegma, an acid spirit or mercury, an inflammable sulfur or oil, a fixed salt, and an earth. By dry distillation most plants yielded water, a volatile acid, and a volatile oil, as well as a fixed alkaline salt and a fixed earth, both remaining in the retort. The majority of late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century chemists considered these five materials to be manifestations of the ultimate chemical principles that is, almost pure principles. Hence, plants played an important role for the corroboration of the French chemical philosophy of five principles they were taken as representatives of all natural bod-... 

The successor of Le Fevre at the Jardin du Roi was Christopher or Chris-tofie Glaser, said to have been born in Basel, where he graduated in medicine. He was demonstrator to Vallot at the Jardin du Roi, then professor, and Apothecary to the King and the Duke of Orleans. He was involved in the...
