"Secrets de médecine": perhaps transcribed at Caen, by "A.R.S.H."

The first part is headed 'Des remèdes qui agissent sur les solides et sur les fluides en même temps': the second part is entitled 'De la matière médicale'. At the end of the first section (p. 177) 'Haec de alterantibus sufficiant-Finis Partis primae. Nunc ad 2am partem ubi de Evacuantibus agemus. A.R.S.H. M.DCC.LV'. The title given above is taken from that inscribed on a paper label by a later hand, and pasted on to the spine. Produced in Caen?
