JAMA 100 YEARS AGO.
- Abstract
An article is reprinted which first appeared in the December 15, 1906 issue of the "Journal of the American Medical Association. " It is a biographical sketch of Theophraste Renaudot, 1584-1653. Renaudot, personal physician to Louis XIII, was the publisher of the "Gazette," the first newspaper in France, which he started in 1631, and also ran one of the first clinics for the sick poor. His unorthodox style won him the enmity of the Paris faculty of medicine, but the patronage of the King and Cardinal Richelieu enabled Renaudot to prosper despite the Parisian faculty's opposition. He was noted for promoting remedies which made use of antimony.
