Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored

This book is almost unique as a study, but it is entirely unique in that it describes remarkable laboratory experiments into Alchemy, which have been carried out over a number of years and which have produced results of a tangible, definite and practical nature. The book begins with a precise historical account of the Great Arcanum, then the dramatic story is told of how the spagyric art of the extraction of the vital essence or “seed" of metals by the identical processes discovered and perfected by Paracelsus, Basil Valentine, and other adepts, and used by them for curing diseases, was rediscovered. The preparation of medicinal elixirs from the seven metals, and the final crowning discovery of the Alkahest of the Philosophers, are also described. To all students of the occult, and also chemists and medical men, as well as those of an inquiring mind, this book will come as a significant revelation.
