Rudolph Goclenius the Younger (1572-1621), German physician and professor at Phillipps University of Marburg. He worked i.a. on cures against the plague and became famous for his miraculous cure with the "weapon salve" or Powder of Sympathy. Based on the hermetic concepts of Paracelsus he published 1608 the proposition of a "magnetic" cure to heal wounds: the application of the salve on the weapon should heal the wounds afflicted by the weapon. - Caillet 4612.€ 200
