Dr. SCHMIDT,
GEORGE.

When the

Gumpendorf Hospital, in Vienna, was first opened for Homoeopathy in 1832, Dr. G. Schmidt was the first homoeopathic
physician.

Under Dr. Mayerhofer, and by advice of the Count Coudenhove, the founder, there had been, under the rose,
mixed treatment and this continued until July, 1833, when Dr. Schmidt
undertook the charge.

He treated the patients in strict accord to Homoeopathy but in
deference to the law each patient had a bottle or box of allopathic
medicine by his bedside, and over his bed there hung a prescription more
or less long and complex.

Rapou

, after giving
the polemical views of Dr. Schmidt,
says that he used large doses not dynamized. He gave Nux vomica in grain doses, or in a drop of the tincture.

This peculiar medication excited long and bitter disputes between him
and certain of his colleagues.

In

1846 he published a book on the subject
of the dose.
