Dr. FANGEL,
HOLGET. (? – 1843)
Dr.
Hansen writes of this man :
He was a talented man who, having been entered at the University of
Copenhagen in 1812,
passed his examination with great credit in 1818.
Having pursued his studies at the
Fredricks Hospital for three years, Fangel
was made an M. D. at the University of Thiel
in 1821, and was in 1829 nominated town physician at Fredericia, where he remained until 1836.
In
1835 he published ” Experimental Homoeopathic Treatment,” containing a description of
163 different cases which he had treated homoeopathically during his stay
at Fredericia, from 1833 to 1835.
A review of this book, published in the
Physician’s Library, by C. Otto,
Professor of Medicine at the University of Copenhagen, occasioned a very witty answer from Fangel, in which he maintained that one of the
colleagues of Otto, Prof. Wendl, had declared the Homoeopathists to be quite right in
considering Aconite an excellent remedy and of
marvellous effect in cases of inflammation, and had told Fangel that he himself had a very high opinion of the
homoeopathic system.
Fangel
died of
apoplexy in Copenhagen, April, 1843. (Inter. Hom. Con., 1891, p. 985.)
