Mayer had married in 1842, and for the first few years his marriage was a vei y happy one, but then his life began to fall apart. Between May 1845 and August 1848 three of his children died. A nasty priority controversy with Joule became public when their claims were read and discussed by the Academy of Science in Paris. Mayer was upset that his writings on energy conservation were not more widely read, and that they often were not appreciated by the few scientists who did read them. And, as the final blow, he was accused by local scientists of being more a mad philosopher than a competent scientist.

The physicians on the university faculty were not happy to see Paracelsus made a professor without their consent.

Under ordinary circumstances, a colloquy was only a formality but not this time, as Paracelsus realized when he discovered that Dr. Hock had come from Strasbourg to debate him. In the end, Paracelsus simply did not show up for the colloquy. He and his allies on the town council contended that because the council had created the position, the appointment did not have to be validated by the university.

Public disappointment that scientific medicine can neither guarantee happiness nor wholly eliminate the disabilities of degenerative diseases in long-lived populations, as well as the fact that drugs used in modem medicine can cause serious harm, naturally lead to a revival of interest in alternatives that alluringly promise efficacy with complete safety. These range from revival of traditional medicine to adoption of the more modem cults. ...
