Paracelsus (born Theophrastus Bombast von Hohenheim in Switzerland 1493) revolutionized the Alchemical Art and is considered to be one of the fathers of modern chemistry and pharmaceutical medicine. A respected physician and university lecturer, Paracelsus was also skilled in all of the arts of the Hermetic Philosophy. Paracelsus repeatedly demonstrated the power and effectiveness of alchemically prepared medicines. 

Theophrastus Bombast Von Hohenheim (1493-1541), who called himself Paracelsus, applied chemistry to effect medical cures and fathered a field called iatrochemistry. His break with the ancient medical doctrines of Galen was total and his tone intolerant and bombastic. He is recognized as having introduced experiment and observation into medical treatment. 

Paracelsus (Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombast von Hohenheim) develops new study of iatrochemistiy, use of chemistry in medicine. He introduces the doctrine of the tria prima medical substances are made up of the four Aristotelian elements. 

Shakespeare, in reply to his own question, What s in a name , remarked that a rose by any other name would smell as sweel. A similar judgment could hardly be applied to Phi)ippus Theophrastus Aureolus Bombast von Hohenheim (or, more correctly, Banbast von Ho) cn-hain), who, fortunately, was called Paracelsus for short. Without this impressive string of names, which he built up as he went along (for he was christened plain Philip), it seems doubtful whether Paracelsus would have been able to divert the twin streams of alchemy and medicine into new channels. This remarkable feat he accomplished by means of shock tactics, in which his formidable name must have carried considerable weight.
