 Paracelsus
      n : Swiss physician who introduced treatments of particular
          illnesses based on his observation and experience; he saw

          imbalance of humors) and replaced traditional remedies
          with chemical remedies (1493-1541) [syn: Philippus
           Aureolus Paracelsus, Theophrastus Philippus Aureolus
           Bombastus von Hohenheim]
