SUMMARY
Article describing a university history-of-medicine homeopathy collection, used in this case for Hahnemann's late-life Paris period. It supports: he was 'living and practicing in Paris with his second wife, Mélanie, whom he had married in 1835'; he finished the sixth edition of the Organon in 1842; and that edition 'was not published until 1921', after his death in July 1843. Identifiers copied from PubMed (PMID 21243055) and Crossref (DOI 10.3163/1536-5050.99.1.009): J Med Libr Assoc, volume 99, issue 1, pages 51-56, January 2011; authors Mix and Cameron.
NOTES
Mix and Cameron’s 2011 article in the Journal of the Medical Library Association is cited for the documented facts of Hahnemann’s final years: his marriage in 1835 to his second wife, Mélanie d’Hervilly, his move to Paris, where the article states he was ‘living and practicing’, and his completion of the sixth edition of the Organon in 1842, an edition that remained unpublished until 1921, almost eighty years after his death in July 1843. These facts anchor the case’s account of the elite Paris practice and the posthumous fate of the doctrine’s final revision. Bibliographic metadata are copied from the deterministic PubMed and Crossref records (PMID 21243055; DOI 10.3163/1536-5050.99.1.009).
