Meeting of three rare works on the analysis of mineral waters around L'Aigle (Saint-Santin, Gauville, Irai ...).
The mineral waters of Saint-Santin were discovered in 1598 and met with some success in the 17th century, then were forgotten. The progress of 18th century chemistry led two doctors from L'Aigle to dispute their analysis and try to promote their therapeutic interest, but the mineral waters of the country of L'Aigle will again fall into oblivion.

Third augmented edition.
Christophe Glaser (1629-1672?) Is a Swiss doctor and pharmacist who became ordinary apothecary of King Louis XIV. Nicolas Lemery will be trained at Glaser but quickly leaves him not supporting his almost esoteric teaching.
Glaser crosses the history in the poison case. It is most probably in her pharmacy that the Marquise de Brinvilliers obtained the vials of poison. According to his testimony Glaser was sent to Italy by Fouquet to learn the secrets of Italian poisons.
Caillet attributes this book to Moyse Charas, who indeed mentions in the preface to his Thériaque that he published a Treatise on Chemistry under the name of Glaser.

We find in this book, curious preparations such as human skull oil or the distillation of viper flesh.
