130 Comm, de Hist. Artis Med. 226-229 (2014) After his Viennese promotion Kraskovic practiced for a while in Vienna until he replaced the deceased Kingdom of Hungary Varazdin district physician Joannis Baptist Lalangue (* 1743 Luxemburg; | 20/ 5/ 1799 Varazdin). In Varazdin, Kraskovic pioneered E. Jenner’s smallpox vaccination on more than 1500 persons including 110 children and propagated vaccination in nearby Hungarian and Slovenian Styria regions. Kraskovic got his serum from Vienna with the help of Swiss Dr. Jean De Carro (* 1770 Geneva; f 1857 Carlsbad)12 and not from Ljubljana Professor Vincenc Kern (* 1760; f 1829) who supplied many other nearby physicians.13 Kraskovic collaborated with the leading member of Royal Jenner Society Dr. John Walker (* 1759; f 1830)14 before Walker founded his own London Vaccination Society on 25/ 8/ 1806. Hungarian authorities praised two years of Kraskovic’s expert treatment of the contagious animal diseases.15 Kraskovic began the operative research of medical protection of workers, and tried to include handicapped persons to useful work in Varazdin area of the Kingdom of Hungary of those days. He noticed the unhealthy circumstances of his contemporary obstetrics and therefore organized the education of midwives of Varazdin area.16 In 1804 Kraskovic returned to Vienna and gave medical examinations. His first office was in Wieden No. 77 in 4th Bezirk Wieden southwest of Down-Town area.17 Before 1897 he moved to the more prestigious office in Graben No. 1188 of 1st Viennese Bezirk southwest of Stephansplatz.18 In late 1810 he was recommended for the Ljubljana chair of medicine, but after the war he moved to Dalmatia in 1816. The present research gives as an opportunity to write the important data of Georg Kraskovic’s life and work. The data moved slightly to the right are as yet not supported with documents: March 2,1767 Gregor Krashovich born in village Brunndorf of Camiola, that is Studenec in Bloke Learns to write and calculate with Bloke Parish curate-administrator Jernej Krasevec 1782/83 attends the first class (parvae) of lower studies in Ljubljana 1783/84 the first grammatical class of the lower studies in Ljubljana January 30, 1785 Kraschavitz Gregor receives the scholarship of the Town Ljubljana as the student of grammatical class 12 Kraükoviő, M.G.: Kraskovitz’s, Dr. Letter to the Royal Jennerian Society.
