Hahnemann graduates in Erlangen

1782

Kreb's Medic

Hahnemann pens some small writings for the second part of Krebs' Medic. One of the articles relates to a mode of checking salivation at its commencement, probably by means of liver of sulphur, or sulphuretted hydrogen gas, as described in the Venereal Diseases

 

1784 - 1849

Moritz Muller, prover of Dulcamara. A founder of the first homeopathic Journal, Archiv fur der Homoopathischen Heilkunst, 1822.

 

1784

Hahnemann's First

Large Scale Work

"Directions for Curing Radically Old Sores and Indolent Ulcers, with an Appendix Containing a More Appropriate Treatment of Fistulas, Caries, Spina Ventosa, Cancer, White Swelling and Pulmonary Consumption".

Published in Leipzig, it contains many useful observations on the management of the system in general and of old ulcers in particular. Even in this early effort, we can see Hahnemann's disgust for many of the absurd modes of treating disease that were common to his day. These are illustrated by examples from the author's own practice at Hermanstadt in Transylvania.

Clemens M.F. von Boenninghausen

developer of the first homeopathic repertory, "The Repertory of the Anti-Psoric Remedies", author of "The Therapeutic Pocket Book"

Baron Clemens Maria Franz von Boenninghausen was born in the Netherlands on a family estate of his father. The family traced its lineage through Westphalia and Austrian ancestry, one ancestor having been appointed as Field Marshal by Ferdinand II of Austria in 1632. Since for centuries the family had devoted themselves to military careers the family fortunes were but moderate.

His early life was spent in the open, and he entered rather late upon his education, but after once starting, his progress was rapid. He graduated from the Dutch university at Gröningen with the degree of Doctor of Civil and Criminal Law, and thereafter for several years he filled increasingly influential and arduous positions at the court of Louis Napoleon, King of Holland, remaining in the Dutch Civil Service until the resignation of the king in 1810, when Boenninghausen too retired from the Dutch service.

Boenninghausen biography: H.A. Roberts, along with A.C. Wilson, wrote a biographical sketch of Boenninghausen, which includes a chronology of his writings.
