No reliable study on this subject has been previously available. Its exploration of natural history?s and medicine?s intersection with chemical investigation in early modern England demonstrates the growing importance of the senses and experience as causes of intellectual change from 1650-1750. It demonstrates that an understanding of the changing definitions of ?salt? is also crucial to a historical comprehension of the transition between alchemy and chemistry. 410 0$aHistory of science and medicine library ;$vv. 3. 606 $aScience$zEurope$xPhilosophy$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aScience$zEurope$xPhilosophy$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aMedicine$zEurope$xPhilosophy$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aMedicine$zEurope$xPhilosophy$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aSalt$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aSalt$xHealth aspects 606 $aRenaissance 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy$xHistory 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy$xHistory 615 0$aMedicine$xPhilosophy$xHistory 615 0$aMedicine$xPhilosophy$xHistory 615 0$aSalt$xHistory. 615 0$aSalt$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aRenaissance. 676 $a546/.3409409031 700 $aRoos$b Anna Marie Eleanor$01638864 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826676203321 996 $aThe salt of the earth$93981534 997 $aUNINA
