From Ancient times, medicinal broths have been an integral part of the diet fed to patients and convalescents. At the end of 17th century, medical and pharmaceutical knowledge and practices were to enter a period of major upheavals. Although also hitherto discredited, chemical drugs became all the rage, work in chemistry boomed and broths benefited. Do the first editions of the works of Nicolas Lemery reflect the knowledge of his time ? Do last editions – revised, corrected, annotated and completed – really reflect transformations in scientific disciplines, technological developments, and scientific advances, particularly in chemistry?
从古代起，药汤就一直是喂食给患者和康复者饮食中不可或缺的一部分。17世纪末，医学和药学知识及实践进入了一个重大变革时期。尽管此前也不被认可，但化学药物开始风靡一时，化学领域的研究蓬勃发展，药汤也从中受益。尼古拉·勒梅里著作的初版是否反映了他那个时代的知识？修订、校正、注释并完善后的终版是否真的反映了科学学科的变革、技术发展以及科学进步，尤其是在化学领域？
