Bojanus was born at Bouxwiller in Alsace and studied at Darmstadt and the university of Jena. In 1806 he became professor of veterinary medicine at the university of Vilnius, switiching to comparative anatomy in 1824. He produced an important work on the anatomy of turtles, Anatome Testudinis Europaeae. He was the author of several scientific discoveries, including the a glandular organ in bivalvular molluscs (Bojanus organ), and the aurochs. He died at Darmstadt.
Carl HeinrichBojanus (1818-1897), to whose work I shall often refer throughout my study, was born in St. Petersburg, in the family of a bank official rooted in Hessen-Darmstadt.
Bojanus left a book on the history of homeopathy in Russia (German and, significanlty enlarged, Russian versions), several pamphlets (in Russian and in German) and many papers in Russian, German, French, English and American homeopathic periodicals.
Victor Pashutin, a student of Ivan Sechenov (1829-1905) and later of Carl Ludwig (1816-1895), the founder of the Russian school of pathophysiology, was probably the most important administrative figure in Russian medicine in the second part of the 1890s.
