Every part of the body is connected. This principle was understood by Jan Luyken’s The Doctor. A pain in the back may be caused by an injury to the leg. The key to good health is keeping all of the parts loose, limber, and in balance. Good medicine and good blood and phlegm and bile – but nothing in excess. Now, drink this tincture and get some rest.

So, we can continue to live for a longer time”
