From
British Journal : Homoeopathy has to lament in the
death of this distinguished individual the loss of one of its brightest
ornaments.
Although from his situation as
Professor of Pathology in one of the most illustrious medical schools, that of Montpellier, he could not give a free and unconstrained
expression to his convictions, yet he took every opportunity to declare
his acquiescence in the doctrines of Hahnemann, whereby he so excited the ire of the medical faculty
that they prevailed on the then Minister
of the Interior to promulgate an order expressly
prohibiting : the mention of Hahnemann and Homoeopathy within the walls of the University.
In a paper read by him subsequently, before the scientific congress at
Nîmes, of which an abstract is given in our 4th
volume, he virtually renews his profession of belief in Homoeopathy.
He was a brilliant orator, an elegant writer, a philosopher and a poet,
and was held in high esteem by the adherents of the old school, although
his homoeopathic convictions occasionally turned the wrath of his former
eulogists against him.
The disease of which he died was of long standing, but he was at last
cut off rather suddenly on the 3d of August last, at
Bagnère de Bigorre, a watering place in the Pyrénées, whither he had repaired for the sake of his
health. (Brit. Jour.
