Body disease and historical medicine · A Chymical Dictionary
At a Glance
The word. A name directing the reader to poison.

Historical Definition
Ios is poison.
Meaning
The entry supplies a broad equivalent, without identifying a particular poisonous material. Its brevity is useful: encountering Ios alone does not establish an ingredient, dose or means of preparation. A surrounding passage may supply those particulars, but the dictionary does not.
Use in the Book
Contrast Oleitas rerum, which names sulphur as a principle present in things. Ios identifies a harmful category rather than one of the general principles by which the book explains their composition.
Places to Read
Oleitas rerum. Oiliness of things interpreted through their sulphur.
