General Note:
Virgules replaced by commas in title page transcription.; There are two other editions of this anonymously printed pamphlet, both printed in Halle an der Saale in 1720 and 1721; only the 1721 edition has been attributed to a Friedrich Hoffmann by the Bibliotheks Verbund Bayern, which cannot be attributed to Friedrich Hoffmann by any other source. The online authorities of the Deutschenational Bibliothek lists a Friedrich Hoffmann (1660-1742) who was a medical doctor and a chemist and who was born and died in Halle an der Saale but does not list this publication in works attributed to him.; "Von denen balsamischen Pillen und deren Würckung", p. [15-20], includes references to tea, coffee, and china-china, or Jesuits bark, which was used to make quinine, from South America.; Signatures: A-B⁴ (A1 verso blank) C²; Engraved head and tail pieces.
