L'or potable, qui guarit de tous maux (Potable Gold, which cures all ills) by Gabriel de Castaigne, published in 1659, explores the alchemical pursuit of a universal remedy. This historical text delves into the preparation and supposed curative properties of potable gold, a substance believed to possess extraordinary healing powers during the 17th century. Castaigne's work offers a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of early medicine, alchemy, and the fervent quest for elixirs of life.
