Scarce copy of Paullini's work on the medicinal uses of toads. Paullini was a polymath with wide ranging interests in Medicine, theology, and philosophy. He corresponded with Leipniz and Athanasius Kircher. His medical works were an interesting mixture of current research and collected folk remedies. Toad medicine has a long history in folk medicine, especially in the east, and is just now being studied seriously by the medical establishment (and psychedelic practitioners).
