Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) was a German physician and the founder of homeopathy. He developed this system of alternative medicine based on the principle of "similia similibus curentur" (like cures like).

Even if these physicians have not hitherto observed nature attentively enough, the miserable results of their treatment should have taught them that they were on the wrong road.
