Overview

A single volume of minutes from the Homeopathic Medical Society of Philadelphia, 1859-80. The society was a physicians-only homeopathic medical society founded in 1838. The society grew out of another homeopathic medical society called The Hahnemann Society, which was formed in 1833. The Homeopathic Medical Society of Philadelphia was largely seen as a continuation of the Hahnemann Society, and would later become an important forebearer of the influential Homeopathic Medical Society of Pennsylvania, founded in 1866.
