DR.. Samuel Hahnem.nn, the father
OF Homeopathy, was born in Meissen,
Saxony, lls years ago. His life,
which lasted SO years, was in many
respects only repetition Of the life
of every reformer that the world has
ever seen.
Martin Luther began church re-
formation by doubling the infallibili-
~ of the Pope; Hahnemann began
his discoveries by doubling certain
dogmas respecting the action Of
drugs which had been believed for
20 centuries Luther found himself
in desperate strife with all the Dish
ops and cardinals Of Rome; Hahne-
mann found himself hated, denounced
and msligned BY every college in
Central Europe.
