Abstract
WE much regret to record the death on October 4, at the age of seventy-seven, of Dr. Joseph Moeller, emeritus professor of pharmacognosy in the University of Vienna, and we are indebted to the Chemtker Zeitung for the following details of his life and work. Dr. Moeller studied in Vienna and was appointed an assistant in the pharmacological department in 1871. After the publication of his work, “Vergleichende Anatomie des Holzes,” he lectured on natural products in the technical high-school at Vienna, and he was awarded the venia legendi for pharmacology of the University. In 1886 he was appointed professor of pharmacognosy at Innsbruck, and in 1893 he left that University for Graz. Later he returned to the Medical Faculty of Vienna, where an independent Institute of Pharmacognosy was built for him. Among other publications Dr. Moeller was the author of “Mikro-skopie der Nahrungs- und Genussmittel,” which has been translated into several languages; “Anatomie der Baumrinde “; and, with Ewald Geissler, of the “Real-Encyklopadie der.gesamten Pharmacie.”
