Dr. Carol Dunham was an eminent homeopath in America. Dunham was
born in New York on 29th Oct. 1828. He graduated from Columbia university
in 1847. He received M. D. at the college of Physicians and Surgeons
of New York in 1850.
While in Dublin, he received a dissecting wound which nearly killed
him, but he cured himself with the help of a homeopathic medicine
- Lachesis. He visited various homeopathic hospitals in Europe and
then went to Munster where he came in contact with Dr. Boenninghausen
and studied the great methods of that great master.
In his later life, under the stress of his large practice he developed
rheumatic carditis. The old school physicians gave up but once again
Homeopathy saved him. His friend Dr. Hering prescribed 'Lithium
carb', which made him alright. Then he organized the 'World Homeopathic
Convention" which had been his dream of many years. The convention
was highly successful, but it exhausted him. He took to bed in December,
1876 and died in February, 1877.
