<abstract language="eng">This paper focuses on the early interpretations of the concept of gas, originally created by J. B. Van Helmont (1579 <FONT FACE=Symbol>¾</FONT> 1644).

Gas was usually associated with the material cause of diseases, with the vital spirit, or with a volatile spirit produced in some kinds of material transformations. As a general trend, however, the authors who did not want to embrace the details of the medico-chemical system proposed by Van Helmont preferred to use more well-known words (such as vapours, exhalations, effluvia, odours, spirits), avoiding the use of the neologism
