From my book, "Faces of Homeopathy" page 67:
In 1860, Hering wrote a few satires about homeopathy, published in
German. In one he wrote of a schoolmaster who, dabbling in
homeopathy, had sent for a box of medicines. When the medicines
arrived, and the box was opened, he found that all 40 of the vials
had been broken in transit. The schoolmaster decided to save the
pieces, sifted the globules from the paper and broken glass, and put
all the globules together in a jar with some dilute alcohol. He
labelled the bottle _Universalinum_. He said it was "The greatest
idea of the century. Here was a remedy for every ill. Goodbye to
books and hard study!"
