The gas-therapy unit was founded by professor Oszacki in Cracow's St. Lazarus Hospital in 1937. This was the beginning of the new therapy, well known in West Europe. Well equipped and modern provided unit worked nearly two years. In 1939 the oxygen explosion and subsequent fire completely destroyed it. In this accident three young doctors died. The Second World War interrupted further development of this new therapy.
