As with the genuine Hippocratic school, a dry and adhesive edge was their desire. Nature, they said, produces the means of union in a viscous exudation, or balm— as Paracelsus called it, a word which Pare and Wiirtz adopted. In stale wounds they did their best to obtain union by cleansing, desiccation, and refreshing of the edges. Upon the outer surface they laid lint steeped in wine. Powders however they regarded as too desiccating, for powders thus shut in decomposing matters (" saniem incarc...erant ") ; wine, after washing, purifying, and drying the raw surfaces, evaporates.

" ^ Of the adherents of Hugh and Theodoric was the well-known Arnold of Villanova, the prototype of Basil Valentine and Paracelsus, and the champion of spirits of wine ; a visionary indeed but a man of mark.
