Very rare first issue of the first edition of a medical treatise on natural poisons, their antidotes and their applicability in curing some diseases, by the Swedish physician and botanist Johannis Linder (1678-1724) from Wermlandia. Linder studied in Uppsala and Leiden and took his degree in Harderwijk. Boerhaave mentions this treatise in his Verhandeling over de kragten der geneesmiddelen (1762), p. 378, in the chapter on antidotes, noting that Johannes Lindelstolpes book on poisons (1739) had already been published under the name Linder at Leiden in 1707. The intellectual Queen Ulrika Eleonora of Sweden knighted him in 1719 and from that date he used the name Lindelstolpe" . It seems that the second issue of this first edition was printed in 1708.
