Theodor Weber (physician)
Summary
Theodor Weber (28 August 1829, Leipzig – 4 September 1914, Halle an der Saale) was a German physician. He was the son of physiologist Ernst Heinrich Weber (1795–1878).
He studied medicine at the Universities of Göttingen and Leipzig, earning his doctorate at the latter institution in 1854 with the thesis "De causis streptiuum in vasis sanguiferis oberservatum". The following year he received his habilitation, subsequently serving as a privat-docent of internal medicine at the University of Leipzig. From 1859 to 1861 he was an associate professor at Leipzig, afterwards relocating to the University of Halle, where he was a full professor of pathology and therapy from 1862 to 1899. At Halle, he was also director of the university medical clinic.
A number of his treatises in pathology and physiology were published in the "Archiv für physiologische Heilkunde" and "Verhandlungsberichte des Kongresses fur innere Medizin". He is credited for developing a specialized douche for nasal irrigation (Weber's douche).
