In latter part of 1834 ,eighty years old , Dr.Hahnemann married
a french woman ,madem marie melanie d'hervilly. Actually she
came to cothen to consult Dr. Hahnemann for her illness. She
admire him and by this admiration they decided to marry. Soon
28th january 1835, they were married in coethen .
Madam Hahnemann wished to return
to Paris and Hahnemann had no objection to leaving his own
country. Hahnemann came to Paris with his bride in the last of
June or the first week in July. Initially they settled in a
house situated near the garden of Luxembourg, but soon moved to
larger house known as NO. 1' RUDE DE MILAN'. Hahnemann got his
right to practice in Paris by help of his wife .
Dr Hahnemann says in his will
that he came to Paris to rest and not to practice but reality
,that he had his practice been so large that never before. His
consulting room were crowed with patients. He was so busy that
he did not write any new books after come to Paris. He only
revised and published second edition of the 'organon'.
In Paris Hahnemann was well
received by homeopathic society. During his practice in Paris
many of popular name of that time consulted him for their
illness. In list there were chemists, doctors, scientist all
over Europe. Dr Hahnemann lived with Melanie ,in a large villa
,front of it lined up the coaches of his patients . Dr Hahnemann
always examined his patient in presence of his wife. His wife
never left his side. she mastered his casebooks, all symptoms
and most obscure notes of materia medica pura
World famous greatest violinist
Niccolo' Paganini was also Dr. Hahnemann's patient in 1837.He
had to postpone an opening concert due to " sickness in the
trachea". Many years Paganini received diverse diagnosis and
treatment. Ultimately he came to Dr. Hahnemann by showing his
good reputation in high society of Paris .
Paganini told very pitiful
disease history to Hahnemann. He was very ill when young and
suffering from coughs. Initially he was diagnosed as syphilis
patient and for it ,he taken mercury treatment
Dr. Hahnemann noticed that due to
mercury treatment ,his all teeth had fallen out, his mouth has
ulcerated with abscess on jawbone . Paganini suffer from chronic
erection for several years. He could ejaculated by the mere
sight of a women. Paganini had connective tissue problem,so he
had hyperextension of his fingers and he could play violin very
rapidly. He was called the demon violinist. his fingers was so
flexible, extensible that he played violin so rapidly.
To choosing a remedy , Hahnemann
considered Paganini's appearance and his personal habits. There
are various story regard Paganini's life. One of that, he was a
man of great frugality, he was known for bargain to lower prise
.He had habit of purchase used clothings . Once he purchased
clothes, he would war them ,and patch them continually,
insisting that "an old garment is an old friend'.
By this habit we homeopath
understand that why Dr.Hahnemann prescribed homeopathic Sulphar
for him. Dr.Hahnemann gave Paganini the medicine with which he
usually started treatment of patients.
He gave highly diluted sulpher
solution. He explained Paganini that "take 1 drop of solution
already diluted , should be mix with 30 spoons of water.
Dr.Hahnemann also advised regard his diet ;no coffee, no tea,and
only strongly diluted wine Dr. Hahnemann first gave him sulpher
30 and latter pulsatilla 30 also .
Bad luck for Paganini that Dr.
Hahnemann unable to help him.
Soon Dr. Hahnemann stopped
treating him. So, there was break between doctor and
patient .but, reality was another .
Due to Paganini's good looks and
fame woman attract to him. Such incidence occur with Hahnemann's
life . Paganini came to Hahnemann as a patient and fell in love
with Melanie. Paganini told her so and she seem to have
responded in a very nasty manner .
Dr. Hahnemann also realised that
Paganini had gotten too familiar with his young wife . Melanie
(handley,1990.page114).Following the death of Paganini, only
three years later ,it was discovered that break between maestro
and society ,later had causes quite other than health. After
Paganini's death a, love letter to melanie hahnemann was found
among his property..
