Background

The journal was published by the N. A. Akademie der homöopathischen Heilkunst in Allentau, Pennsylvania, an early American institution that promoted homeopathic medicine. Editor C. Zering compiled the material, drawing on submissions from physicians practicing in the United States and abroad. The publication reflects the 19th‑century interest in homeopathy, a system of treatment based on the principle of “like cures like” and the use of highly diluted substances.

Contents

  • Editorial header: title, date, and publisher information.
  • Medical case reports: detailed descriptions of patient symptoms, diagnoses, and homeopathic remedies employed, including references to specific substances such as Spigelia.
  • Correspondence excerpts: letters and notes exchanged among homeopathic practitioners, discussing clinical observations and treatment outcomes.
  • Illustrative material: occasional diagrams or tables summarizing case data.

Scope

The material covers a single issue dated 19 March 1836, focusing on homeopathic treatment of various diseases. Geographic coverage is limited to the United States, with particular emphasis on Allentau, Pennsylvania, though some cases involve patients from other states. The content is exclusively in German and pertains to medical practice, case documentation, and professional correspondence. It does not include other issues of the journal, non‑homeopathic medical literature, or broader historical context beyond the immediate publication.
