Montanus, Jacob. "Of the power, operation, and exceedingly beneficial use of the glorius antidote termed potable gold." In A golden and blessed casket of Nature s marvels, ed. Benedictus Figulus, 343-357., 1893. 

Lion has been made out of the volatile blood of the Green Lion hence, they are of one nature, and the unfixed blood again renders that which is volatile fixed, and the fixed blood in its turn fixes that which is volatile, as it was before its solution. Then foster it in gentle heat, until the whole of the mercury is dissolved, and you obtain the second ferment (by nourishing the fixed sulphur with that which is not fixed), as all Sages unite with me in testifying. Afterwards this becomes, by sublimation with spirit of wine, of a blood-red colour, and is called potable gold. 

Potable Gold. In the KoUoid-Zeitschrift, H. Losner discussed the history of colloidal gold and quoted several early recipes for the preparation of red gold sols, or potable gold (Trinkgold). Preparations such as this were made by Creiling (1730), Valentin Krautermann (1717), G. E. Stahl (1744), and George Wilson (126). 

AURUM POTABILE — Potable Gold, devoid of corrosive quality, known to very few, and, among these, they who prepare it at the present day do so rather to the destruction than salvation of men. 

CHEIZI — This is a term of Paracelsus. When it is applied to minerals, it refers to Quicksilver. When it is concerned with the vegetable world, it means the Flowers of Vegetables and Plants. When it occurs redundantly, or in repetition, as Flos Cheiri, from silver, it signifies the White Elixir, or its Quintessence, as Flos Anthos, Red Elixir of Gold. Others say it is Potable Gold others again that it is Antimony.

It defends chemical remedies, saying (with some truth) that these go back beyond Paracelsus to Lull, Arnald of Villanova, and Mesue, but are more difficult to prepare than the Galenical. It refers to the learned public lectures in chemistry at the Jardin Royal for fuller details, and deals with antimony, mercury, etc., ending with potable gold.
