Homeopath
Homeopathy or homoeopathy is a pseudoscientific system of alternative medicine. It was conceived in 1796 by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann. Its practitioners, called homeopaths, believe that a substance that causes symptoms of a disease in healthy people can cure similar symptoms in sick people; this doctrine is called '' similia similibus curentur'', or "like cures like". Homeopathic preparations are termed ''remedies'' and are made using homeopathic dilution. In this process, the selected substance is repeatedly diluted until the final product is chemically indistinguishable from the diluent. Often not even a single molecule of the original substance can be expected to remain in the product. Between each dilution homeopaths may hit and/or shake the product, claiming this makes the diluent remember the original substance after its removal. Practitioners claim that such preparations, upon oral intake, can treat or cure disease. All relevant scientific knowledge about ...

Frederic Hervey Foster Quin
Frederic Hervey Foster Quin (12 February 1799 – 24 November 1878) was the first homeopathic physician in England. Early life and education Quin's place of birth has been concluded, based on recent research, to have been Ireland; although per some past theories he has been incorrectly regarded as the son of Lady Elizabeth Foster, née Hervey, mistress and later second wife of the fifth Duke of Devonshire, more recent research has concluded he may have been her godson. On the basis of Lady Elizabeth's alleged affair with Valentine Quin, 1st Earl of Dunraven and Mount-Earl, this earlier research suggested he was Quin's father, but alternatively also suggested the Irish journalist, bookseller, and collector, Henry George Quin (1760-1805), of Trinity College, Dublin. Quin passed his early years at a school at Putney, kept by a son of Mrs. Sarah Trimmer, the author. In 1817 he was sent to the University of Edinburgh, where he graduated M.D. on 1 August 1820.

Old Style And New Style Dates
Old Style (O.S.) and New Style (N.S.) indicate dating systems before and after a calendar change, respectively. Usually, this is the change from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar as enacted in various European countries between 1582 and 1923. In England, Wales, Ireland and Britain's American colonies, there were two calendar changes, both in 1752. The first adjusted the start of a new year from Lady Day (25 March) to 1 January (which Scotland had done from 1600), while the second discarded the Julian calendar in favour of the Gregorian calendar, removing 11 days from the September 1752 calendar to do so.Spathaky, MikOld Style and New Style Dates and the change to the Gregorian Calendar "Before 1752, parish registers, in addition to a new year heading after 24th March showing, for example '1733', had another heading at the end of the following December indicating '1733/4'.
