[Baldo and Ante Bibica, Father and Son - Two Physicians from Dubrovnik].

Medicine and physicians in Dubrovnik during the last two centuries, i.e. in the period after the dissolution of the Republic of Dubrovnik by Napoleon's Army, have attracted less interest among medical historians.

[Dr Fran Mandić (1851 - 1924): A Reputed Physician from Kastav and "Croatian Consul" in Trieste].

Born in Istria, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Fran Mandić (1851-1924) finished a Croatian grammar school in Rijeka and studied medicine in Graz, Austria and in Prague, Bohemia. After graduation, he settled in Trieste, a major Austrian port, where he spent his entire career. After a period in the State Hospital in Trieste, Mandić ran his own practice and held a position of medical adviser of the Austrian State Railway in Istria.

[Dr Anto Marić (1897-1982): a journey from alcohology and dermatovenereology to psychiatry and balneology].

Dr Anto Marić (1897-1982) was born in Vukšić in Bosnia. He completed medical studies in Vienna and Prague. He published his results from the Department for dermatovenerology at Sarajevo State Hospital, Bosnia.

[Hinko Lehner--the first Croatian logoped].

In his career, somewhat longer than 22 years, Lehner was frequently transferred from place to place. Beside working as municipal and county physician he worked also as a spa doctor. Very much interested in the stuttering treatment, his own problem that he had solved during his student period in Vienna, he kept trying to sensitize his fellow-doctors, teachers, but also the Croatian authorities for this problem.

[Dr. Bruno Curinaldi (1854-1944): from Zadar over Mostar to Sarajevo].

Dr Curinaldi was a fortunate combination of Italian background, Austro-Hungarian education, and life in a Croatian community where Catholicism met Islam. In a word, he was a genuine European multicultural intellectual. Ninety years of life and sixty-six years of medical career from Zadar to Mostar and to Sarajevo at the turn of the 20th century speak not only about his personal development and dilemmas, but also about social turmoils of the times.
