BERNARD NAUNYN (1839-1925) Der Diabetes mellitus. Alfred Hölder 1900 [2] x, 526 pp., tables, fold. chart. 24 cm.

A native of Berlin, Naunyn received his medical education at the University where he was one of Frerich's (see No. 1877) most outstanding students. During his career Naunyn was professor of clinical medicine successively at Dorpat, Bern, Königsberg, and Strasbourg. His major areas of research included metabolic diseases and diseases of the liver and pancreas. He wrote an important work on gall stones, introduced the term acidosis to describe acid formation in diabetes and, together with Johann Ernst Oswald Schmiedeberg (1838-1921), founded the Archiv für experimentelle Pathologie und Pharmakologie. The present treatise was the first book devoted solely to diabetes and describes Naunyn's research on the disease. The work here appears in Volume VII, Part I of Nothnagel's Specielle Pathologie und Therapie along with treatises by Dietrich Gerhardt (1866-1921) and Karl Harko von Noorden (b. 1858).
