I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- HAHNE_970806_01.JPG: Hahnemann Memorial
This memorial to Samuel Hahnemann is located at one side of the Scott Circle.
Samuel Hahnemann is the founder of a system of homeopathic medicine. Based on the principle that "like cures like," homeopathic physicians used carefully selected remedies in small doses to stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms. This gentle system was a contrast to "heroic" medical practices of the time, such as bleeding, purging and leeching. A German physician and graduate of the University of Erlangen, Samuel Hahnemann never visited the United States. He lived his last years in Paris and was buried there in 1843.
- Wikipedia Description: Samuel Hahnemann Monument
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Samuel Hahnemann Monument is a Northwest, Washington, D.C. monument, located in Scott Circle, at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Rhode Island Avenue.
It consists of a stepped oval platform, a curved granite half-wall with benches, four bronze bas-relief panels, a central arch, and a larger-than-life bronze statue of Hahnemann within a half-domed niche decorated with a vividly-colored Art Nouveau mosaic. Julius F. Harder was the architect of the monument. The architectural carvings, bas-relief panels and central statue were sculpted by Charles Henry Niehaus.
The sculpture was cast in 1896, and the monument was dedicated on June 21, 1900.
