Philip Phoebus (* 23 May 1804 in the Moravian-Friedland ; † 1 July 1880 in pouring ) was a German physician and pharmacologist .
In 1843 he was appointed to the University of Giessen. Here he founded the first German Institute of Pharmacology. In 1865 he had to give up his official position because of illness. Phoebus was active towards the end of his life for the reform of the pharmacy system and the preparation of an international European Pharmacopoeia . In casting Phoebus joined the Masonic Lodge "Ludewig for loyalty" at.

In 1862, Mackenzie writes, Dr. Phoebus of Giessen, who formed opinions on hay fever from witnessing only one case, sent out flyers to various patients and obtained organized statistics about hay fever and came up with "a complete theory about the disease. I write further about phoebus here. (11, page 17)
Another thing to note about Dr. Phoebus is that he was probably the first person to write about the link between air pollution and hay-asthma. He referred to the substance in the air that is naturally occurring (and also a pollutant) as ozone.
In 1854, Dr. Phoebus (professor of medicine at the University of Giessen) gave an analysis of 300 cases. In the early part of 1859 he sent out circulars, which were published in various medical journals in Europe and America, inviting medical men all over the world to send him answers to a series of questions so framed as to embrace every possible kind of information about the causes, symptoms, and progress of the disorder, its periods of prevalence, geographical and ethnological distribution, and its prevention
and treatment. Although this disease is more prevalent in England and America than in any other parts of the world, it was to the above mentioned German author, Dr. Phoebus, that we are indebted for collecting and putting into an available form all that was known of hay fever up to the time of the appearance of his
monograph in 1862. He was not himself a sufferer from the disease.
