The Homeopathic Physician

Another addition included in EH package K is a collection of issues from The Homeopathic Physician, the official organ for the International Hahnemannian Association.

EH package K contains seven complete years. Published from 1881-1899 this journal was committed to "Hahnemannian Homeopathy." At the top of every volume was the following quote by Constantine Hering:

If our school ever gives up the strict inductive method of Hahnemann, we are lost, and deserve to be mentioned only as a caricature, in the history of medicine.

The journal was edited by E. J. Lee, MD, then Walter James, MD, and finally G. H. Clark, MD. During its 19 years of publication, it printed a number of invaluable small repertories.

There is a wealth of information including all the fine papers, cases, and discussions of Bayard, Wells, Lippe, Boger, Kent, Lilienthal, E.E. Case and other members of the IHA, in addition to many "Hahnemannian" docs who were unaffiliated with the IHA. Some were still AIH members; some chose not to become officially affiliated with the IHA , but still submitted papers periodically.

Julian Winston from his The Heritage of Homeopathic Literature states that it was, "An invaluable resource. Always Hahnemannian in outlook and approach. There are very few collections that include all the volumes."

An excerpt from the first article in the first volume can be found on our Homeopathy Timeline under the year 1881.
