The Allopathic Conspiracy against Frederick
All of this fame caused great jealousy and hatred among the orthodox doctors and pharmacists. They hatched a conspiracy to drive the son of Hahnemann out of town in the same manner they drove his father from Leipsig. It was only a matter of time before the local apothecaries and the Royal Collage of Medicine pressed legal charges against Fredrick Hahnemann for dispensing medicine. This was in spite of the fact that F. Hahnemann MD. held a legal doctorate in the state and owned a chemist shop and charged nothing for his remedies. His friends wrote Samuel Hahnemann and asked him to defend his son and a support group was formed. It seems that Frederick could have won the court case as his actions were legal by the letter of the law.

All of this commotion was too much for Frederick's spirit which revolted against the right of any authority to judge him and he told his supporters to "Let them go to the Devil!" He refused to answer the court or have anything to do with the authorities. A fluent stream of colorful words describing the nature of such injustice was quickly followed by the gifting of all his personal property to his wife, his shop to the state, and his sudden disappearance from sight. He had grown up witnessing the persecutions of his father and he was deeply suspicious of any dealings with the establishment. An arrest warrant for contempt of court was issued against the son of the great Hahnemann. At first he fled to Holland but then returned to Hamburg. Soon, Frederick left Germany for England and Scotland, never to return.

Constantine Hering was very interested in getting the books and writings of Frederick Hahnemann so that they could be studied. He asked a colleague who was going to Europe: "If you can get me the books of Frederick Hahnemann when you go to Edinburgh, I will give a feast. Frederick was very talented, but a hunchback and a freak. Went about in Oriental costume, allowing his beard to grow untrimmed and was always spitting"

Although the relationship between Samuel and Frederick was strained at times, Frederick kept in touch with his father until 1828. His father received a letter from his son in England in 1827 which made him very happy. He loved his eccentric son, whom he considered a great healer, and he wished to see him. The Hofrath wrote:

"Lately I have received a letter from my son in England and he says that he will certainly come to see me this year. I look forward to meeting him."
