Lettei: Homceopathic Physician

The document provides a facsimile of an autograph letter written in English, German, and French by Samuel Hahnemann. The letter was given to Dr. Samuel Long by his patient Madame D'Hervilly, Hahnemann's sister-in-law. The letter contains three messages: an English phrase about seeking truth, a German poem about making the most of the present time, and a French statement about the most valuable treasures being an irreproachable conscience, good health, love for God, and self-study.

AN AUTOGRAPH LETTER

OF

SAMUEL HAHNEMANN.

Upon we give a/ac simile of an autograph


the opposite page
letter by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. The original from which

this copy was taken is in the possession of Dr. Samuel Long, of


New Brunswick, New Jersey, to whose courtesy we are indebted
for the opportunity to give it to the readers of The Homceo-
PATHic Physician.
The letter was presented to Dr. Long by his patient, the
venerable Madame D'Hervilly, sister-in-law of Hahne-
mann, accompanied by her own letter of which the following is
the text
" I have the pleasure and satisfaction of giving Doctor Samuel Long the

accompanying letter, written to me by my brother-in-law, Doctor Samuel


Haiinemann, Paris, March 12th, 1843.
''Mrs. Felix D'Hervilly,
" New Brunswick, July 2d, 1890."

It will be observed that the letter is in three languages : Eng-


lish, German, and French.
The full Enujlish translation is as follows :

(English.) " I sought truth earnestly and found it."

(German.) " Cull roses while tlie roses bloom.


To-morrow is not to-day ;

Lose not an hour, for, ah, too soon


Time speedeth swift away."

(French.) " The most valuable treasures are an irreproachable conscience


and good iieallh the love for God and the study of one's
;
self gives the one,
Homoeopathy gives the other."

This reproduction was, in the first instance, photographed


from the original, and then, by a new process, trarisferred to a
metal plate, from which the print was made.
We are certain our readers will appreciate the opportunity to
possess a fao simile of the handwriting of the immortal Hahne-
mann.
