William Chamberlaine (1747-1822) and his Fothergillian Medal.
The Fothergillian Medal is awarded by the Medical Society of London for medical distinction. It was first presented in 1787 and, apart from a short interval 1803-1824, it has continued to be awarded until the present day. Of the original seven gold medals cast, only two are preserved. However, the Brettauer Collection in Vienna contains an unusual (third) Fothergillian Medal cast not in gold but in gilded silver, which is dedicated to William Chamberlaine. A search of the archives of the Medical Society of London has revealed the identity of William Chamberlaine who was Honorary Secretary of the Medical Society of London for eight years, and was awarded this special Fothergillian Medal in recognition of his services.

Anton (von) Rosas (1791-1855): on the occasion of the bicentennial of his birth. Part I.
A reappraisal is made of Anton von Rosas and his career, on the occasion of the bicentennial of his birth.

[Ferdinand von Hebra (1816-1880)--on his 175th birthday , September 7].
September 7, 1991 will be the 175th anniversary of the birth of the founder of German-speaking Dermatology. June 14 of this year (1991) marked the centenary of Hebra's bust being displayed in the arcades of Vienna University. Moreover, it is exactly 225 years since the dermatologist's grandfather was recruited into the "K.K. Infantrie-Regiment No. 40" (numbered after 1769), the point of time to which the entry of the Hebra family into Viennese medical history can be traced.
Serendipity--its basis and importance.
Horace Walpole (1717-1797) coined the term serendipity in 1754 in allusion to an ancient oriental legend of the "Three Princes of Serendip". Since about one century this term has been discussed in literary history; for almost 50 years medical writers have made use of it. Today, serendipity is understood as the ability to make discoveries not purposely searched for - the greater the knowledge, the more likely the discovery.
