Constantine Hering was born on January 1, 1800, in Oschatz, Germany, the son of Christian Gottlieb Karl Hering, an accomplished musician and educator, and of Christiane Fridericke (Kreutzberg) Hering.
At the age ot eleven Constantine was placed in the classical school at Zittau, where he displayed strong interest in natural history and made a valuable collection of minerals, herbs, and bones. He began his medical studies at the Surgical Academy of Dresden in 1820 and subsequently attended the University of Leipzig, taking seven courses in medicine. While there he became a special pupil and assistant of J. Henry Robbi, a celebrated French surgeon who had served under Napoleon. Attracted by the reputation of Schonlein, he pursued further studies in the University of Wurzburg, from which institution he received his diploma in medicine, surgery, and obstetrics on March 23, 1826.
Following graduation, Constantine Hering was appointed teacher in mathematics and the natural sciences at the Blochmann Institute in Dresden, a school for the education of young noblemen. After several months of work here, upon the recommendation of the president of the school to the King of Saxony, Hering was delegated to go to Surinam in South America to make researches in zoology. His ability and industry while in Surinam enabled him in addition to his zoological researches to engage in some medical practice, study drug action, and contribute articles to Stapf’s Archiv. These outside activities were disapproved by the physician to the King; the Minister of the Interior wrote Hering a letter of criticism, and the young scientist promptly resigned, although no fault had been found with the character of his research work.
Hering then practised medicine in Paramaribo, and there began his studies of the venomous Lachesis and made provings of numerous remedies. One of his enthusiastic pupils, Dr. George H. Bute, a Moravian missionary, left South America in 1831 for the United States and began practice at Nazareth, Pennsylvania. At his solicitation, in 1833, Hering took up his residence in Philadelphia, where he practised medicine until his death.
He was instrumental in organizing, at Allentown, Penssylvania, in 1835, the first school of homeopathic therapeutics in the world - the North American Academy of the Homeopathic Healing Art, chartered June 17, 1836. He was president and principal instructor until 1842, when the institution was obliged to close its doors for want of funds.
In 1844 Hering presided at the first session of the American Institute of Homeopathy. In 1848, with Jacob Jeanes and Walter Williamson, he founded the Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania. He was elected professor of materia medica in the first faculty, but resigned before the beginning of the session. In 1864 he accepted the chair of institutes of homeopathy and practice of medicine, which he held for three years. In 1867, when the controlling stockholder decided to abolish the chair of pathology, Hering resigned, being followed by several members of the faculty. Securing a charter, he immediately formed a new college, the Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia, with which, two years later, the Homeopathic Medical College united. Of the new institution Hering was dean, 1867-1871. He also served as professor of institutes and materia medica, 1867-71, and of institutes and practice, 1869-1870. From 1876 until his death he was professor emeritus of institutes and materia medica.
Throughout his long career Hering was an indefatigable worker. From 1851 to 1853 he was one of the editors of the North American Homoeopathic Journal, from 1854 to 1856, of the Homoeopathic News, and from 1867 to 1871, of the American Homoeopathic Materia Medica. He was the author of Materia Medica (1873), Analytical Therapeutics (1875), and Condensed Materia Medica (1877). He translated from the German R. H. Gross’s Comparative Materia Medica (1867). His opus magnum was Guiding Symptoms (1878). He died while arranging the third volume; the remaining seven were published under the supervision of his literary executors.
Hering’s medical teachings were liberal; his examinations of patients were complete, including the investigation of all data, organic, functional, and mental. He contended that anatomy, physiology, chemistry, pathology, surgery, and diagnosis were essential to the homeopathic practitioner, herein bringing upon himself the criticism of less liberal colleagues. Hering died in his eighty-first year.
