E. Heinrich Kisch

Enoch Heinrich Kisch (1841–1918) was an Austrian physician, born in Prague, who became professor of balneology at the German University of Prague and the leading physician of the spa of Marienbad, where he practiced every summer for half a century. He wrote standard works on the treatment of obesity and on the diseases of women, including studies of the climacteric and of sterility, and his treatise The Sexual Life of Woman, translated into English in 1910, gathered the observations of forty years of practice. He also wrote on the history of Marienbad and left memoirs of his career.
