Dr. PABST,
JOHANN C. L.Was practicing Homoeopathy in
Copenhagen as early as 1830.
Hansen
writes : Pabst was born in 1795 at
Corsoer, in the principality of Lundbeck.He did not study at the University.
In June,
1836, he set up as a physician in Copenhagen, having previously been regimental surgeon at Sleswig, and having made several voyages to the East Indies as sea-surgeon.
He was a very talented man and had an excellent knowledge of drugs. He
had a very good practice, being generally successful in his cures ; once,
having saved the life of his adopted daughter, he was praised in very
strong terms by an allopathic physician ; she was married to a professor
of music and was, when confined, in great danger.Pabst
gave her Aconite, and in the course of the night she rallied completely. On
seeing this change the physician attending her said to Pabst, ” You are the right doctor for people who
are at the point of death.”My father was, in
1834, cured by Pabst of a painful eczema which had been declared incurable by
several allopathic physicians.Pabst
died May 18, 1861, of erysipelas. He was converted by Dr. Lund on account of being cured by him. (Brit. Jour. Hom., vol. 13, p. 604.
