Catalogue Note
Michael Puff (1400-1473), born in Schrick, Austria, was professor of medicine in Vienna. His treatise on distillation and the pharmaceutical use of distilled herbs was first printed in 1477. In the final chapter he advises a daily half spoonful of brandy to avoid ill-health. All editions are rare.
