To Haehl, first of all, belongs the credit of this history of homoeopathy and of Hahnemann, the story of whose life, authoritatively and carefully written, reads like a fascinating novel, for Haehl has delved into the remotest corner of antiquity and has presented to us the living Hahnemann himself-the man, the physician, the scholar, the chemist, the linguist, the seeker after Truth-for Hahnemann was all these and more.

The son of a Canadian Episcopalian minister, his father had arrived there to lead the local parish five years earlier and met his mother, who was the daughter of the president of the University of Norwich. Four years after Allan’s birth, ministerial work lead the family first to North Carolina and then to Connecticut a few years afterward.
Starting in 1920, Sutherland began his premedical studies and a year later, he began his medical education at Hahnemann Medical School in Philadelphia.
Sutherland graduated in 1925 and went on to intern at both Children’s Homeopathic Hospital and St. Luke’s Homeopathic Hospital. He then was appointed the chief resident at Children’s. With the conclusion of his residency and 2 years of clinical experience under his belt, Sutherland opened his own practice in Philadelphia while retaining a position at Children’s in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.
In 1928, Sutherland decided to set up practice in Brattleboro.
