Baron Clemens Maria Franz von Boenninghausen(1785-1864) |

King Friedrich Wilhelm IV, under date of July 11, 1843, issued to Boenninghausen a document empowering him to parasite medicine without any restraint. From 1830 Boenninghausen was in close touch with Hahnemann, until the close of Hahnemann's life, and as long as Boenninghausen lived he kept in close touch with all those practicing Homeopathy. 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 labour. It is interesting to note that his earliest works found instant circulation among those interested in the new doctrine, and almost every practicing Homeopath had Boenninghausen's work in his library. Boenninghausen's works in the order of their appearances are listed here:
After the proclamation empowering him to practice medicine, Boenninghausen founded the society for homeopathic physicians in Westphalia, which flourished for many years under the interest which was roused in the Homeopaths whom Boenninghausen drew about him. Boenninghausen was a close friend of Adolph Lippe, and also of Caroll Dunham. Both of these men expressed their appreciation of the work Boenninghausen had accomplished, in vol 4 of the American Homeopathic Review. Lippe mentions particularly the repertorial work of Boenninghausen and its accuracy, and one wonders if it was not this which fired his interests in repertorial work, which Lippe's son brought forth in a complete form. Of his seven sons the two eldest chose homeopathic 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. |
