‎ The very rare first edition to be published in German, and of which only a very few copies are known (no copy in the NLM). This work was first published in English (Philadelphia, Wesselhoeft, 1835, with a second part in 1838). The first edition in the German language was published in Allentown, (Pennsylvania), Jacob Behlert,1837. Next to Hahnemann, Hering will be best remembered as the most ardent advocate of Homeopathy, and the founder of the American School of Homoeopathy. His "Homopatischer Hausartz" (1835), is a great classic of Homoeopathic literature, was translated into many languages.--(First two, and last 4 leaves with some light scattered browning, but an remarkable clean inner copy in a attractive contemporary binding). ‎
