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.
