Of Man.

THe Chymical Artist doth extract from Man, both male and female, several Substances, which are the subject of this work, and that either during his life, or after his death; from male and female during their life, are taken Hairs, Milk, After-burthen, Urin, Bloud, and the Stone in the Bladder: After death, use is made, either of the dead body, or its parts, which are muscles or flesh, fat, bones, or skull. From these several, parts, is the Ar∣tist to take his Remedies, as we shall hereunder teach in or∣der; and that will be a sufficient example to direct him in the like operation upon other Animals and their parts. There are yet besides these above related, several other parts in Animals, very useful for Physick: But, as they are not commonly made use of in Chymical operations, we think it needless to mention them in this Chapter, lest we break the Law of our Abridgement.
