During Darwin’s trip to South America in the mid-1830s, he became very ill.
Although Charles Darwin was only 39 years old in November, he felt that he was dying.

When you consider that Charles Darwin was this sick in 1849 and that he published his seminal book, The Origin of Species, 10 years later in 1859, one cannot help but wonder if he would have even survived that long or if he would have been as productive as a scientist or as an author if he didn’t see Dr. James Manby Gully in March, 1849.

On the advice from one of his cousins as well as from a fellow shipmate from the Beagle, Charles Darwin brought himself and his family to the clinic of Dr. James Manby Gully, a well-known and respected homeopathic physician.
