Various advice from Philippus Theophrastus Paracelsus, doctor of both medicines.

I have chosen to include the following advice for two reasons. Firstly, to serve good people who may benefit from it. Secondly, to ensure that they are not forgotten, as I know that they have been well received by many scholars and have been useful to many. When someone finds an ancient pagan coin, even if it is made of copper, they still cherish it, show it to a good friend, and take pride in it. Why then should I not also hold these fragments in high regard, which are much better than copper and silver coins?
