Detailed
Description
A work on hygiene and a guide for the preservation of health by the noted physician Dr. Moses Studenzki. Dr. Moses Studenzki was born in the early part of the nineteenth century at Zbarasz, Galicia, where his father, Aaron Polak, was rabbi; he died at Warsaw about 1876. Until he was fourteen Dr. Studenzki studied Hebrew and Talmud under his father, and for the next three years attended the yeshivah of Brody. At the age of seventeen he went to Warsaw, where he graduated from the Lyceum and entered the Alexander University, studying medicine and philosophy. When that university was removed from Warsaw, Studenzki went to Berlin University, and finished there his medical studies (M.D. 1834). He then returned to Warsaw, where he practised as "physician of the first degree," and where he graduated as "doctor accoucheur" in 1846. He wrote also Rofe ha-Yeladim (Warsaw) on the care and treatment of children’s illnesses, and prepared an edition of M. Levin’s Refu'ot ha-'Am (Lemberg, 1851), to which he added a treatise on children's and women's diseases.
