Panacea - A black and white drawing of a group of people

Panacea Helping the Sick. The Veronese physician J. Gazola created this picture as part of a larger woodcut in 1716. It was for his book, The World is Deceived by False Doctors, in which he wrote of the four elements of the panacea (the cure-all). He cited Ecclesiastes 7:17b, “Do not be a fool — why die before your time?” as a reason to use his recipe (incidentally, the verse is taken out of context).
