The father of Iridology.
He created one of the first organ mapping Iris charts.
Modern Iridology started in the mid 1800’s. This is the earliest time that organ mapping of the iris started. It was thought that Ignatz Von Peczely of Budapest, Hungary, was the first practitioner and researcher in the field of Iridology. But in the same time period, Reverend Nils Liljequist from Sweden was practicing, too. If we look at the work of both of these men, we find many similarities. They never knew one another and since there was no Internet at that time, they were unable to compare notes.
The Book of Irisdiagnosis
In the late 1800’s there was another man named Pastor Felke from Sweden who was such a famous Iridologist that there is an institute in Germany named after him. In the late 1800’s, Henry Edward Lane, who was an Austrian medical doctor, brought Iridology over to the United States. Henry Lindlahr was a student of Lane and published many articles on Iridology. In the same time period (early 1900’s) was a man named Dr. Kritzer who wrote a textbook called The Book of Irisdiagnosis. He also published one of the first Iridology charts in America.
