- Title
- Addì 16 maggio 1799…in proposito della pillole dette del Pievano
- Description
- This broadside issued by the Royal Supreme Health Tribunal of the Republic of Venice states that the miraculous pill called "Pievano," secret recipe of Giovanni Giacomo Zannichelli, is legitimate, as decreed in 1769 and renewed in 1799. The miracle pill was for gastrointestinal problems, and most importantly would not interfere with malaria treatments made from "chinachina," or quinine, a component of cinchona tree bark. Malaria, from "mal aria," or bad air, was a widespread problem in Italy, especially in the central and southern regions and marshes of Venice.
