Mineral waters in seventeenth-century France HI203 European World 31 January 2018 Michael Bycroft

‘Treatise on the mineral waters of Provins, Containing their anatomy, the difference between the springs, their properties, virtues, and admirable effects By Pierre le Givre, doctor Paris, 1659’

‘The secret of acidic mineral waters Newly discovered by an easy and admirable method… Pierre le Givre, 1767’ The secret: They contain alum and iron, but not vitriol And they contain eight times as much iron as alum

Rainwater + iron filings Povins mineral water

‘Earthy principle’ of vitriol: brown ‘Earthy principle’ of alum: white ‘Earthy principle’ of iron: yellowish-white Extracted by distilling, dissolving, filtering, evapourating

Rainwater + iron filings Provins mineral water

The chemical philosophy Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, aka Paracelsus (early 16c) Swiss-German anti-establishment icon – Aristotle, four elements, medical profession extends sulphur-mercury theory of metals to ALL substances extends chymical analogies to many phenomena extends mineral remedies to many new diseases

Botanical garden of the University of Padua, 1545 (19th-century print)

‘With letters from Monsieur de Sartes Doctor in the Faculty of Medicine of Paris, and Monsieur Cattier Doctor at the University of Medicine of Montpellier’ dissertations new posts pharmacopoeia

Lessons from the mineral waters case the new science made a difference to ordinary people medical doctors were crucial to the new science – and especially in combining new theories with medical practice the profit motive often drove the application of new ideas institutions helped to spread the new science – new institutions (botanical gardens) as well as old ones (universities)
