Felix Würtz

Presumably Gesner gave Würtz the advice to write about his experiences and knowledge as a surgeon.

[4] Würtz‘ main work is Praktika der Wundartzney, published in 1563 in Basel.

Here Würtz describes his opinion of treatment of wounds and criticizes several medical traditions.

Here Würtz brought up for discussion in detail the physical damage and curvatures, which were simply a result of swaddling.

He seems to be the first writer who openly criticized certain hard forms of this ancient treatment of babies: "I also saw right and straight children created by God and born into this world by humans, who became nevertheless bent and lame men, who never got straight and healthy thighs.
