[Benoît Mure, missionary of homeopathy in XIXth century]
Abstract:
Benoît Mure, born in Lyon the 4th of May 1809, was one of the most important person who spreaded the homeopathic medicine in the XIXth century, especially in Italy. Homeopathy is a therapeutic method which was founded by Christian Samuel Hahnemann, born in 1755 in Meissen. Benoît Mure, as he was ill, consulted an homeopathic doctor: Dr Sebastien Des Guidi, who cured him. From this time, he consacrated his whole life and personal fortune to spread homeopathy. In 1837 he created a dispensary in Palermo that will become further the "Royal Academy of Homeopathic Medicine". In 1839, he founded the dispensary of rue de la Harpe in Paris and teached homeopathy to many doctors. He spreaded also homeopathy in Brazil, then in Egypt. He died the 4th of March, 1858 in Cairo.
