Abstract

The author discusses the methods of medical treatment presented in a humorous way by Wacław Potocki, a 17th century poet. Misunderstandings between a doctor and a patient have a comical effect and result from the violation of four conversational principles, i.e. the maxim of quantity, quality, relation and manner. The article lists names of numerous illnesses and medicines popular in the 17th century.
