|  This process is alchemy: its founder is the smith Vulcan. | | Medicine rests upon four pillars - philosophy, astronomy, alchemy, and ethics. | | Once a disease has entered the body, all parts which are healthy must fight it: not one alone, but all. Because a disease might mean their common death. Nature knows this; and Nature attacks the disease with whatever help she can muster. | | However, anyone to whom this happens should not leave his room upon awakening, should speak to no-one, but remain alone and sober until everything comes back to him, and he recalls the dream. | | Many have said of Alchemy, that it is for the making of gold and silver. For me such is not the aim, but to consider only what virtue and power may lie in medicines. | | For it is we who must pray for our daily bread, and if He grants it to us, it is only through our labour, our skill and preparation. |
