Prof. János Rupp of Pest University kept reading a non-obligatory course on the subject of industrial health, for the length of several years each Wednesday from 8 to 9 a.m. under the title: De Us, quae respectu politico-medico curanda sunt ut civium sanitas per exercitium artificorum quam minime adficiantur.
