THE ACTIVITY OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS DOCTORS AND CHEMISTS IN JASSY DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY REFLECTED IN UNPUBLISHED DOCUMENTS

Summary/Abstract: The unpublished documents kept by The National Archives of Jassy County offer some very important information about the unknown medical activity in Moldavian schools in the first half of the 19th century. There is much information about the doctors of that age, but the notes regarding the school chemists and dentists are very rare. Therefore, the unpublished documents that our study is based on helped us to restore the names of three chemists (C. Tornborg, I. Degré and Iacob Vierozinski) and one dentist (J. Löffle). On the other hand, doctor Ghica, who was in charge of the three most important schools of Jassy, tried to make the authorities aware of the importance of maintaining the public school hygiene, of healthy alimentation and of sports activities, in order to improve the pupils’ health. We notice that, before the approval of the official regulations regarding school medical policies, since the mid 19th century, the harsh realities obliged the authorities to find some practical solutions.
