William Boericke
William G. Boericke (25 October 1849, Asch, Bohemia Austrian Empire – 1 April 1929, San Francisco) was an Austrian-born American physician and ardent, influential exponent of homeopathy. He is known in the field today as the compiler and editor of the ''Pocket Manual of Homeopathic Materia Medica.'' The ninth edition has endured as his most re-published version partly because of its then final inclusion of a mini-repertory by his brother, Oscar Eugene Boericke, MD, also a homeopathic physician. Early life As a child, William Boericke immigrated to the United States with his family from Asch, then part of the Austrian Empire, a Bohemian region that, since the end of World War II, was part of Czechoslovakia, then, since 1993, the Czech Republic. The Boerickes settled in Cleveland. William Boericke's father, Franz Oskar Boericke (1813–1901), married twice, his second being to Henriette C. ''née'' Jaenig (1836–1902), William Boericke's stepmother. Medical journal Boericke ...

Eclectic Medicine
Eclectic medicine was a branch of American medicine that made use of botanical remedies along with other substances and physical therapy practices, popular in the latter half of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries. The term was coined by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque (1784–1841), a botanist and Transylvania University professor who had studied Native American use of medicinal plants, wrote and lectured extensively on herbal medicine, and advised patients and sold remedies by mail. Rafinesque used the word ''eclectic'' to refer to those physicians who employed whatever was found to be beneficial to their patients (eclectic being derived from the Greek word ''eklego'', meaning "to choose from"). History Eclectic medicine appeared as an extension of early American herbal medicine traditions such as " Thomsonian medicine" in the early 19th century, and included Native American medicine. Standard medical practices at the time made extensive use of purges with calomel and ...
