Very nice copy of William Salmon's eccentric and popular London Dispensatory, which blended vernacular medicine with Galenic practice and Paracelsian alchemy.  This is a greatly expanded edition from the original 1676 issue, which consisted of only 3 parts.  Though it was not sanctioned by the College of Physicians, Salmon's anti-establishment writing gave the book a broader and more accessible appeal.  It went through numerous editions and was widely used by apothecaries, surgeons, and independent practitioners alike.
