This Is A New Release Of The Original 1888 Edition.
Having been intimately associated with Archibald Cockren during the
past ten years, and having long since I learn to place implicit
confidence in his efficiency and reliability in all matters to
which he has devoted his many remarkable gifts and talents, it
affords me real pleasure to write a few words by way of
introduction to 'Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored.' In this book
he tells of the sensational work which he has accomplished in once
more bringing to light, and to the service of humanity, secrets
which baffled the majority of scientists of all ages, and which,
for several centuries, have been buried in a grave of doubt and
skeptical tradition. That this grave should at last have been
opened, and that the real, albeit hidden secrets which it contained
should now stand revealed and proclaimed, must undoubtedly be
regarded as an epoch-making event. I do not myself claim to have
any scientific knowledge whatever, but seeing is believing, and I
have been privileged to keep in close touch with the author's
experiments from the very beginning. Not only have I seen the
results achieved, but I, among many others, have been able to test
and pay grateful tribute to the efficacy of the Elixirs produced by
the alchemical process. These, one may venture to assert, cannot
fail as they become better known to prove a very valuable addition
to the remedies at present available to mankind. There is no
question of the claims which are put forward in this book being
taken on trust. On the contrary they are open to the fullest
examination. The proofs are there and they can safely be left to
speak for themselves, in the light of the outcome of any
investigations to which they may be subjected. Seeing the
far-reaching importance of the author's researches and discoveries
it is necessary that some account should be given of his career,
and of those qualifications in the wide field of physiology which
entitle him to consideration in questions of the treatment of human
ailments. After the necessary period of training he was, in 1904,
certificated at the National Hospital for Paralysis and Epilepsy as
fully qualified for all purposes of massage, remedial exercises,
and electrical treatment. From this hospital he passed on to the
staff of the Great Northern Central Hospital, where he remained for
several years. From 1908 onwards, however, he was able to devote
part of his time to the private practice in which he then for the
first time established himself in the West End of London. This
practice had necessarily to be given up during the War. For over
twenty years he has been a keen student of the sciences of
metallurgy, No-chemistry, and bacteriology, and it will thus be
seen that in the claims he now advances in this book he writes with
that measure of authority which a life devoted to the alleviation
of suffering, and to the effective treatment of human ailments,
undoubtedly confers on him. It is given to few men to make such
momentous discoveries as have rewarded his persistent work and
patience. His work has, indeed, to my knowledge, often been pursued
under conditions of great difficulty and disappointment. May what
he has accomplished in the interests of science and of the human
race bring him the reward which he deserves--the reward of general
recognition and appreciation of the results achieved. DUDLEY B.

With an account of the extraction of the seed of metals and the
preparation of the medicinal elixir according to the practice of
the hermetic Art and of the Alkahest of the Philosopher.
The object of this book is to place before the reader in language
as simple as possible the story of alchemy. Because the literature
on this science has ever been an enigma to both the scientific and
the lay mind, it is the earnest desire of the author to present it
stripped of its symbolism, and to give some indication of its
processes, its achievements, and its possibilities. He wishes to
show that this science is the Law operating behind all
Manifestation in Man; Man that is in his entirety, physical,
mental, and spiritual, and to demonstrate how it is bound up in the
further evolution and unfoldment of the race, for without this
understanding the vision of Man made perfect is impossible. This is
an excellent primer for anyone interested in alchemy.

This is a pre-1923 historical reproduction that was curated for
quality. Quality assurance was conducted on each of these books in
an attempt to remove books with imperfections introduced by the
digitization process. Though we have made best efforts - the books
may have occasional errors that do not impede the reading
experience. We believe this work is culturally important and have
elected to bring the book back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide.
This rate book is brought back into print because it tells the
story of alchemy in such simple terms that most all can understand.
The cryptic language and symbolism commonly found in alchemy is
laid bare so we can comprehend exactly what was meant and what was
happening during the pursuit of the alchemical elixir. The premise
of the book is to show that the science of alchemy reveals the one
law operating within the human spirit and in our quest for
immortality. Cockren insists that there is a Divine Plan, and by
exploring and experimenting with alchemy, we will find ourselves on
the path that will lead us to it. This book must be read in full,
so the "complete picture" is shown, and the reader will then see
how it all connects. Different parts of the world are covered, as
well as different periods of history. There is also a physical
alchemy, relating to medicine, that is covered besides the
spiritual. Excellent material exists in this small book on the
great men of alchemy like St. Germain, Nicholas Flamel, Basil
Valentine, and Paracelsus. The book concludes by reprinting two of
the world's most important Hermetic alchemical texts -- The Golden
Tracate of Hermes and The Book of the Revelation of Hermes.
According to practitioners and students of alchemy, the body's
Vital Energy, or Quintessence, is best obtained from minerals and
metals. Using everyday language and an accessible style, Cockren
explores the different uses and manifestations of this ancient
science, from the physical to the medicinal and even the spiritual.
Along the way, he provides engaging sketches of alchemy's early
pioneers, including St. Germain, Basil Valentine, and the legendary
Paracelsus, providing a solid foundation to his belief that within
the world's metals "can be found elements to cure all discords in
the human body." Considered the greatest British alchemist of the
20th century, ARCHIBALD COCKREN (d. 1950) was a practicing
physician who also studied metallurgy, biochemistry, and
bacteriology.
