philosophy, as mentioned above, was still active and had a distinguished
representative in Israel Hwasser (1790—1860), professor at Uppsala, who was in

equipped as efficiently as the knowledge of that time allowed. His works on
alcoholismus chronicus, inflammation of the lungs, typhoid fever, etc., gained

known for his works on chronic Blight’s disease and for the discovery of several

"Laryngo-Pathology"; P. J. Wising (1842—1912) published results of investigations as
