One might say, for example, that a patient has a kind of St Vitus's dance; a kind of dropsy; a kind of nerve fever; a kind of ague. One would never say, however (to end once and for all the confusion of these names) He has St. Vitus's dance, He has nerve fever, He has dropsy, He has ague, since there simply are not any fixed, unchanging diseases to be known by such names. Hahnemann, Samuel

A little bit about Hahnemann, Samuel

Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (10th April 1755 in Meien, Saxony, Holy Roman Empire - 2nd July 1843 in Paris, France) was a physician who, beginning with an article he published in a German medical journal in 1796, coined homoeopathic medicine. Hahnemann is also credited with introducing the practice of quarantine to the Kingdom of Prussia during his employment with the Duke of Anhalt-Kthen. He received his doctor of medicine degree at the University of Erlangen. Hahnemann is entombed in a mausoleum at Paris's Pre Lachaise cemetery. · Can we improve this biography?
