The work is of little importance, being made up of prescriptions such as the
following, recommended for
extracting bullets, or small shot, which cannot
be got at with instruments :
" Burn live Crayfish in a new Pipkin, till they
are reducible to powder, but without burning them to ashes. With this
powder Hare's suet is to be mixed and then placed on the wound."

Whilst on a visit to the fortified town of Morsk in the Low Countries in
1612, Fabricius was shown by the Governor of the place, the "Military
Chest " of Maurice of Orange, consisting of Medicines, Instruments, Linen,
Rollers, and other necessaries, which things, he says, were properly arranged
in a room ready to be packed in the chests as required. Thus stored, these
chests were carried with the army in the field for the purpose of providing
for the immediate wants of the wounded, who, as soon as possible after an
engagement, were carried to the nearest
of Physicians and Surgeons appointed by the State.
