Robert MacLimont 1825 – 1863
Robert MacLimont ?1825 – 1863 MD University Medical College New York, MRCS 1852, was an American orthodox physician who converted to homeopathy,
MacLimont was a student of John Pattison, a famous British orthodox physician and cancer specialist, affiliated with New York University, who converted to homeopathy, and had over thirteen years and 4000 cases of cancer to report on when he began to publish his reasearch,
MacLimont practiced in Guernsey, where he was in partnership with John Ozanne, and after several years of travel abroad in Rome, Nice and Madeira, he settled in Bath where he was appointed as a Physician at the Bath Homeopathic Hospital,
MacLimont was a colleague of Charles Henry Marston,
There appears to be some bad blood between the British homeopathic community and MacLimont, who came into conflict with George Newman, who accused MacLimont of mixed allopathic and homeopathic practice, an observation previously noted in Guernsey by John Ozanne,
MacLimont also caused a controversy when he published his report on John Pattison’s cancer research, which caused disagreement and contention amongst homeopaths in Britain, some homeopaths were in favour and some were not,
MacLimont died at home at 15 Catharine Place Bath of Scarlet fever in 1863,
MacLimont submitted cases and articles to The Lancet, and to various homeopathic publications, and he wrote A reply to Dr. Ozanne’s pamphlet, entitled “A complete statement of the facts connected with the dissolution of partnership recently existing between Drs. Ozanne and Maclimont”, Homeopathy the only Law of Cure, The Importance of Climate Change in the first stage of pulmonary consumption, Cancer, and the new mode of treating it by Charles Henry Marston and Robert MacLimont (based on the research of John Pattison),
