 Theophrastus Philippus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim
      n : Swiss physician who introduced treatments of particular
          illnesses based on his observation and experience; he saw
          illness as having an external cause (rather than an
          imbalance of humors) and replaced traditional remedies
          with chemical remedies (1493-1541) [syn: Paracelsus, Philippus
           Aureolus Paracelsus]
