The text is divided into three parts: Part I (pages 1-36) has five chapters on the methods of diagnosis and treatment; Part II (pages 37-158), titled "Fabrica receptorum", explains how to make specific medicines; and Part III (pages 159-1490), titled "Selectus materiae medicae experimentalis" includes an extensive collection of recipes and decriptions of ailments organized alphabetically.

On pages 1491-1557 is included a list of all the medications described in this treatise, mostly drawn from the Pharmacopoea Wirtenbergica and dated 1785 in a chronogram.
