***No copies recorded on ICCU. Scarce treatise on history, uses and remedies of tobacco (properties, manner of smoking and chewing it, of drinking its juice, of its use in powder). The work of the French doctor and philosopher Magnen, settled in Italy, where he was professor, first appeared in Pavia in 1648. Our edition appeared in the same year as that printed at The Hague, with a slightly different title. Last edition was published in 1669.
