Description
Caricature comparing homeopathy and allopathy (mainstream medicine), 1800s. "Schism in the medical profession Allopathy v. Homeopathy. Showing Dr. Allopath and Dr. Homeopath, the rival doctors." The German physician Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) developed homeopathy in 1796, which was based on his doctrine that "like cures like" a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease in healthy people will cure similar symptoms in sick people. Homeopathy is generally considered a pseudoscience.
