As usual sporadic stronger browning due to the inks used. *The book was considered important enough to have a shorter pocket edition or EPITOME produced soon after this original. All editions & even the epitome are Rare. Sennert's major contribution was to introduce chemistry as a part of the medical curriculum. This work deals not only with diseases & medicine but also natural history. His works are credited with the first scientific description of scarlet fever, scurvy, arthritis and fevers. The 2nd edition of 1620 first added the section on Surgery which is cited as the best survey of the conditions in his time.
