Noah Biggs was an English medical reformer[1] and alchemical writer of the middle of the seventeenth century.
In his Chymiatrophilos, mataeotechnia medicinae praxes: The Vanity of the Craft of Physick,[2] from 1651, he attacked pretentious and quack medical theories of his time.
He also implied that Galenists in the College of Physicians opposed the Parliamentarian regime.
He called for better diet, and criticised bleeding and other remedies of the period.
It argued that medical practice should be open to all, a point also taken up by William Walwyn.
