It was be- cause of the study of Basil Valentine's work that Paracelsus broke away from the Galenic tradi- tions, so supreme in medicine up to his time, BASIL VALENTINE 6l and began our modern pharmaceutics. Follow- ing on the heels of Paracelsus came Van Hel- mont, the father of modern medical chemistry, and these three did more than any others to en- large the scope of medication and to make ob- servation rather than authority the most import- ant criterion of truth in medicine. Indeed, the w...ork of these three men dominated medicine, or at least the department of pharmaceutics, down almost to our own day, and their influence is still felt in drug-giving. While we do not know the absolute date of either the birth or the death of Basil Valentine and are not sure even of the exact period in which he lived and did his work, we are sure that a great original observer about the time of the invention of printing studied mercury and sulphur and various salts, and above all, intro- duced antimony to the notice of the scientific world, and especially to the favor of practition- ers of medicine.
