Jetons de doyens de la Faculté de Médecine de Paris évoquant des souvenirs pharmaceutiques

Abstract

Three deans of the former Faculty of Medicine of Paris had tokens minted which referred to apothecaries: E.-F. Geoffroy, master apothecary of Paris before becoming a doctor of medicine; H.-T. Baron, senior, who succeeded in publishing the Paris Pharmacopoeia of 1732; P.-J.-B. Chomel, who cultivated "everyday plants", the object of his work, on land on the rue de l'Arbalète close by the "Jardin des Apothicaires". The author explains and reproduces the tokens.
