ZDENKO VON DWORZAK, M. D.

	An eminent American statesman has said, "In all this world, the 
thing supremely worth having is the opportunity coupled with the 
capacity to do well and worthily a piece of work the doing of which 
shall be of vital significance to mankind." The opportunity came to Dr. 
Zdenko von Dworzak and was utilized by him in such a manner that he is 
today regarded as one of the leading specialists in the treatment of 
the nose, throat and ear in Colorado. He has carried his investigations 
and research work in the line of treatment of middle ear diseases with 
radium to a point in advance of many others and has made valuable 
contribution to the science of his profession. Dr. von DworzaK has been 
a resident of the United States for only ten years but has become a 
thorough American citizen in spirit and interests. Educated in the 
leading universities of Europe and of America, he has established 
himself among the leaders of his profession and is an authority upon 
the lines in which he specializes.

	Dr. von Dworzak was born in Olmutz, Austria, on the 12th of 
November, 1875, and is a son of Dr. W. von Dworzak and F. Jelita von 
Dworzak. both of whom were of noble birth. The father held a government 
position of the highest rank attainable, being a judge of the supreme 
court of Austria. This position is accorded only after many years of 
valuable public service and is a mark of honor extended only to people 
of rank. He passed away in Austria in 1895, while his wife died in that 
country in 1913. They were the parents of a daughter and a son, the 
former being Mrs. von Hominska, still living in Austria.

	The younger was Dr. Zdenko von Dworzak of this review, who 
attended the Jesuit College of Kalksburg and afterward became a student 
in the University of Vienna, where he pursued his medical course and 
was graduated in 1903. He was later required to visit the various 
clinics of Europe and did clinical work and attended lectures in the 
hospitals of Munich, Berlin, Heidelberg, Paris and Vienna. He came to 
America in 1909 and accepted a position as instructor in Tulane 
University of New Orleans, Louisiana, but on account of his health was 
obliged to resign and was advised to remove to Denver, which he 
accordingly did. In the interval, covering nine years, he has built up 
a large and growing practice.

	He is a member of the Cactus Club and has won many pleasant 
social acquaintances, while professionally his membership extends to 
the Denver City and County Medical Society, the Colorado State Medical 
Society and the American Medical Association.
