Virgil Mayer (born November 23, 1834 in Munderkingen , † December 1, 1889 in Cannstatt ) was a German pharmacist who was strongly committed to homeopathy in Württemberg .

Life

He began his training with his father in Munderkingen. He then worked as an assistant in Ulm , Offenburg , Lahr and Landau . He studied pharmacy at the University of Tübingen . In 1858 he passed the pharmaceutical state examination there. A year later, after his death, he took over his father's pharmacy in Munderkingen, which he sold again in 1872.

In 1875 he took over a homeopathic drug store in Cannstatt. From 1881 it became a purely homeopathic pharmacy ("Homeopathic Central Pharmacy"). This was a special case. The pharmacy is still owned by the family today.

Mayer supplied doctors and patients directly by mail. The label he used for it had the inscription "Homöopathische Centralapotheke von Virgil Mayer Cannstatt". It guaranteed the absolute reliability of the homeopathic remedy. Mayer's packs developed into early homeopathic finished medicinal products .
