A celebrated German-Swiss physician, reformer of therapeutics, iatrochemist, and alchemist. He attended school in a small lead-mining district where his father, <person>William Bombast von Hohenheim</person>, was a physician and teacher of alchemy. The family originally came from <city>W<uum/rtemberg</city>, where the noble family of Bombastus was in possession of the ancestral castle of Hohenheim near <city>Stuttgart</city> until 1409. He entered the University of <city>Basel</city> at the age of sixteen, where he adopted the name <qex>Paracelsus</qex>, after <persfn>Celsius</persfn>, a noted Roman physician. But he left without a degree, first going to <city>Wurtzburg</city> to study under <person>Joannes Trithemius</person>, Abbot of Sponheim (1462-1516), a famous astrologer and alchemist, who initiated him into the mysteries of alchemy. He then spent many years in travel and intercourse with distinguished scholars, studied and practiced medicine and surgery, and at one point attended the Diet of Worms. He was appointed to the office of city physician of Basel, which also made him a lecturer on medicine at <city>Basel</city> about 1526, where, through the publisher <person>Johan Frobenius</person> he made friends with the scholar <persfn>Erasmus</persfn>; and there he fulminated against the medical pseudo-science of his day, and against the blind adherence to ancient medical authorities such as <persfn>Hippocrates</persfn>, <persfn>Galen</persfn>, and <persfn>Avicenna</persfn>, which was still the prevalent philosophy of medicine in the sixteenth century. But soon, in 1528, he was driven from the city by the medical corporations, whose methods he had severely criticized. He found refuge with friends, and traveled and practiced medicine, but could not find a publisher willing to print his books. He preached frequently the need for experimentation in medicine. He is important in the history of medicine chiefly on account of the impetus which he gave to the development of pharmaceutical chemistry. He was also the author of a visionary and theosophic system of philosophy. The first collective edition of his works appeared at <city>Basel</city> in 1589-91. Among the many legends concerning him is that concerning his long sword, which he obtained while serving as barber-surgeon during the Neapolitan wars. It was rumored that in the hilt of the sword he kept a familiar or small demon; some thought he carried the elixer of life in the sword.

<p><q>The apothecaries, too, were enraged against this iconoclast [Paracelsus]. For had he not, as official town physician, demanded the right to inspect their stocks and rule over their prescriptions which he denounced as "foul broths"? These apothecaries had grown fat on the barbarous prescriptions of the local doctors. "The physician's duty is to heal the sick, not to enrich the apothecaries," he had warned them, and refused to send his patients to them to have the prescriptions compounded. He made his own medicines instead, and gave them free to his patients.<br/
