Biography
He took part as a military surgeon in the War of the Austrian Succession. In 1760 he became surgeon-major of the king's regiment. Appointed in Besançon, he managed to rehabilitate the vaccination of smallpox then lived for some time in England where he studied a new process, the Suttonian inoculation, which he experimented on his return to France.[2][3]
He had Louis XVI establish the school of military surgery in Paris, of which he was appointed head, and was promoted to inspector of military hospitals in 1789, a position he lost during the French Revolution.[4]
He was the co-author of Traité historique et pratique de l’inoculation, which has been digitized by the Wellcome Collection.[5][6]
