Paracelsus (1493-1541) was a Swiss physician and alchemist who established the principle that "the dose makes the poison," founding modern toxicology and pharmacology. "The Rose of Paracelsus" by William Leonard Pickard is a novel about the LSD underground, connecting Renaissance alchemy to modern psychedelic chemistry. Its inclusion ties together the collection's alchemical, pharmaceutical, and counterculture threads.
