INTRODUCTION
(Alder.).
INFORMATION
In the third volume of the homoeopathic Times, Dr. Ramford mentions an anomalous affection of long standing, and sometimes, but not constantly, presenting an appearance of purpura haemorrhagica; generally there is an excited state of the system. Belladonna failed in curing this disorder. It yielded to the alder.
Charles Julius Hempel (5 September 1811 Solingen, Prussia - 25 September 1879 Grand Rapids, Michigan) was a German-born translator and homeopathic physician who worked in the United States. While attending medical lectures at the University of New York, where he graduated in 1845, he became associated with several eminent homeopathic practitioners, and soon after his graduation he began to translate some of the more important works relating to homeopathy. He was appointed professor of materia medica and therapeutics in the Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia in 1857.
