Franz Hartmann, a faithful student and intimate friend of Hahnemann, who took part in early proving, wrote:
How grateful to him was the leisure he allowed himself when, after finishing his evening’s work, he sat in his easy chair from 8 o’clock in the evening onwards, in his dressing gown and velvet cap, with his boots off, smoking his pipe and drinking a glass of mild beer!
