Body disease and historical medicine · A Chymical Dictionary

At a Glance

The word. A fever remedy named without a composition.

In the book. Opopopyron Laudani is another named medicine associated with stopping fevers.

A place to read. The historical definition below, 1650 dictionary, unnumbered definition page 19; facsimile PDF page 347.

Historical Definition

Diaceltatesson is a particular remedy against fevers.

Meaning

The entry gives the intended use of a preparation, rather than its ingredients. “Particular” preserves the sense of the source’s “speciall”; the definition does not identify the kinds of fever or state how the remedy is prepared.

Use in the Book

Opopopyron Laudani is another named medicine associated with stopping fevers. The shared application does not prove that the two names designate the same preparation. A reading of either term needs the surrounding author’s description if the substance or procedure is at issue.

Places to Read

Opopopyron Laudani. A medicine attributed to Paracelsus and defined by its use against fever.
