WRITER AND TEACHER
The recent death Of Professor Josef Hyrt at his
country home in Perchtoldsdorf, near Vienna. re-
moves from the German speaking world one Of the
most famous ANTAGONISTS and the original
teacher. Hyrtl was the last OF the founders OF
the modern school of medicine at Vienna. and his
lectures the university drew students from
every civilized country. He has been called 1.-The
intellectual man in Austria" and 1t would
certainly have been difficult, In a country
that produced a Sapphire to find his equal. The
debt which medicine owes him is simply immense.
His works on descriptive and typographical anat-
omy were epoch making. and they were written In
a way-full of Wit and humor-whch make them
almost as attractive for the layman az for the
academician. His book. Text Book OF the Anat-
omy OF Man" has passed through seventeen edi-
tons and his Text Book OF Comparative
Anatomy" through seven. and both have been
translated into every modern tongue. 1t is owing
to his Investigations too. that the Vienna anaomi-
cal museum is to-day the most famous and
complete of its kind in the world.
Hvrtl was by birth a Hungarian and first saw
the light in lSl1 in Eisenstadt. He was not only
n "medicine-man." dividing honors with Rokitan-
sky Oppolzer Skoda. Schulz and the other found
ers of the Vienna Medical School, but he had a
remarkable general knowledge. He was a master
