In a series of courses lasting six years he covered all phases of medicine: anatomy, physiology, psychology, gerontology, pathology, therapy, venereology, gynecology, neurology and pediatrics. ... highly appreciated courses... His place in the history of medicine was somewhat behind Haller, Morgagni and Boerhaave, rather than ahead of them.': Mettler, p. 253 a.o.pl.: Bayle & Thillaye, vol.
