History and development of homeopathy in european countries
Clemens Maria Franz Von B�NNINGHAUSEN
(, Germany)
Clemens Maria Franz, Baron von B�nninghausen was one of the most noteworthy of the early practitioners of Hom�opathy. Born in the Netherlands on March 12, , on the ancestral estate of Heringhaven in Overijssel, his lineage was traced through Westphalian and Austrian ancestry, one ancestor having been appointed as Field Marshal by Ferdinand II of Austria in
His early life was spent in the open, and he entered rather late upon his education, but after once starting, his progress was rapid.
He graduated from the Dutch university at Gr�ningen with the degree of Doctor of Civil and Criminal Law on August 30, , and thereafter for several years he filled increasingly influential and arduous positions at the court of Louis Napoleon, King of Holland, remaining in the Dutch Civil Service until the resignation of the king on July 1,
He then returned to his home and devoted himself to the sudy of agriculture and botany.
He married in and removed to his hereditary estate of Darup. Through his interest in the development of agricultural resources he came in touch with the most prominent agriculturists of Germany, and he formed the first agricultural society in the western part of Germany. In he became President of the Provincial Court of Justice for Westphalia in Coesfield, which position he retained until About this time he became one of the Commissioners for the registration of lands and his constant travels gave him ample opportunity to study the Flora of Rhineland and Westphalia and he published a book on the subject: "Prodromus Florae Monasteriensis." In he became Director of the Botanical Gardens of Munster, retaining this position for several years, and received much distinction from his botanical writings.
In he suffered a derangement of health, which had hitherto been excellent.
Two of the most celebrated physicians obtainable declared this to be purulent tuberculosis. His health continued to decline until the spring of , when all hope of his recovery was given up. At this time he wrote a farewell letter to his close botanical friend, August Weihe, M. D., who was the first hom�opathic physician in the province of Rhineland and Westphalia, though B�nninghausen was ignorant of the fact, their whole correspondence having touched on botanical, not medical, subjects.

In response to the reply which B�nninghausen sent to this letter, Weihe sent some Pulsatilla which B�nninghausen took according to the directions, following also the course of advice which Weihe gave him regarding hygienic measures.
B�nninghausen's recovery was gradual but constant, so that by the end of the summer he was considered as cured.
This event bred in B�nninghausen a firm belief in Hom�opathy and he became an active missionary. He revived his former knowledge of medicine and began to practise. But he had no license to practise as a physician and for this reason he devoted himself to literary labors upon subjects connected with Hom�opathy.
Most of the systematic works written by B�nninghausen concerning Hom�opathy were published between and By this time B�nninghausen's fame had spread to France, Holland and America, and he had gained many converts to the new doctrine of healing among physicians in these lands, by correspondence and literary efforts, which were extended in the effort of making the work of practicing hom�opathy easier.
At this time, you will remember, there was no short way to approach the study of hom�opathy. No repertories, save a brief one in Latin by Samuel Hahnemann himself, had been published as an index to point the way to the indicated hom�opathic remedy, and many hours must have been devoted to the study of remedy after remedy before the true picture was seen.
King Friedrich Wilhelm IV, under date of July 11, , issued to B�nninghausen a document empowering him to practice medicine without any restraint.
From B�nninghausen was in close touch with Hahnemann, until the close of Hahnemann's life, and as long as B�nninghausen lived he kept in close touch with all those practicing hom�opathy.

In the year Boenninghausen was attacked by tuberculosis and the disease seemed to be incurable. Ultimately, on the 11th day of July, the year , king Fredrick Wilhelm, the IVth gave him the right to practice by a cabinet order.However, his literary work was much hampered by the permission to practice freely, and he did not publish his books as frequently after that event, although he spent much time at that labor. It is interesting to note that his earliest works found instant circulation among those interested in the new doctrine, and almost every practicing hom�opath had B�nninghausen's works in his library.

The Pyrexy.After the proclamation empowering him to practice medicine, B�nninghausen founded the society for hom�opathic physicians in Westphalia, which flourished for many years under the interest which was roused in the hom�opaths whom B�nninghausen drew about him.

No one man, except Hahnemann, has left so deep an impress upon the literature of Hom�opathy, or has exerted so great an influence in favour of the Hom�opathy taught by Hahnemann, as B�nninghausen. His Therapeutic Pocket Book, first published in, has been a guide to many, and other of the works of his scholarly pen have also been held in demand by the believers in pure Hom�opathy.
He devoted himself especially to presenting the Materia Medica so that the chief characteristics of each remedy might be thoroughly understood by the practitioner and his writings are mostly devoted to that object. The great literary work of his life was probably his editorship of the Aphorisms of Hippocrates with the Glosses of a Hom�opathist.
Of his seven sons the two eldest chose hom�opathic medicine as their profession, which was a great joy to him.
The elder of these sons practiced for a time in the neighborhood of his boyhood home, later going to Paris where he married the adopted daughter of Hahnemann's widow. He lived with Madame Hahnemann and her daughter, and had access to Hahnemann's library and manuscripts.
