George Bartisch is best known as the German ophthalmologist who wrote the mammoth textbook Ophthalmodouleia, printed in 1583. He wrote several other books, most of which were never published. One that he self-published is on Venice Theriac of Andromachus. Common theriac has a long history in medicine from just after Hippocrates. It initially was used for venomous snake bites but later was used for poisonings too. By Bartisch's time it was considered a nearly universal cure-all. In the book, a multitude of ophthalmic and general diseases are listed and then the dose of Theriac is given. Bartisch warned against the many inferior types of theriac available through unscrupulous traveling salespeople. He offered the superior Venice Theriac for sale, compounded by himself in Dresden, Germany, where he resided.
乔治·巴蒂施最为人所知的身份是一位德国眼科医生，他撰写了1583年出版的鸿篇巨著《眼科医学》。他还写了其他几本书，其中大部分从未出版。他自费出版的一本书是关于安德罗马库斯的威尼斯解毒剂。普通解毒剂在医学上有着悠久的历史，自希波克拉底时代之后就开始使用。它最初用于治疗毒蛇咬伤，但后来也用于治疗中毒。到巴蒂施那个时代，它被认为几乎是一种万能药。在这本书中，列出了多种眼科疾病和一般疾病，然后给出了解毒剂的剂量。巴蒂施警告人们要警惕无良流动推销员兜售的许多劣质解毒剂。他出售自己在德国德累斯顿配制的优质威尼斯解毒剂，他当时就住在那里。
