HEALTH - MUMIA AND THE UNICORN A work by the famous French surgeon, Ambroise Pare, who tended Henri II at the cruel death in the duel, which Nostradamus had predicted. In this book, Pare dealt with the medical value of Mumia (made from the powdered remains of Egyptian mummies) and the horn of the Unicorn. The motto around the philosopher (or alchemist) in the device, reads (in translation), 'I carry all my things with me'. This relates partly to self-sufficiency, but also to the notion that any burden of knowledge should be hidden within the self, rather than be in evidence (as with the two other figures in the illustration, who carry heavy weights). Discours d'Ambroise Pare, Conseiller et Premier Chirugien du Roy, 1582.
