No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across major library catalogs (including local catalogs, Google Books, and Internet Archive) yielded no results for an English translation of David de Planis Campy's 1628 work 'L'Hydre morbifique exterminée par l'Hercule chymique' (The Morbific Hydra Exterminated by the Chemical Hercules). Given the author's status as a niche 17th-century French iatrochemist, it is highly probable that this work has never been translated into English.
