[Ars medica Anhaltina (III): the Anhalt Hahnemann interpretation and the Köthen Homeopathic Institute].
In the years between 1821 and 1835 the domiciliation of Samuel Hahnemann in Köthen induces a consolidation of the homoeopathy in the district of the Anhalt territories. By dynastic order hereby the existing medical laws concerning the self-dispensing of the physicians are cancelled. ⋯ The fight against homoeopathy permanently remains on the programme of the scholastic medicine, which certainly appeals to existing laws, but cannot prevent the development of a prospering business with homoeopathy. The reconstruction of these events became possible by the preserved documents.
