He was caught and almost executed, but the English intervened on his behalf. He went to France, where he became a Professor of Mathematics in Lyon and Marseille. In 1820 he became a Doctor of Medicine at Strassbourg. After his wife was cured by Dr. de Romani from Napels he studied homeopathy and introduced it in France in 1830.
