[Glorification of forgotten famous chemists: the medals of the Stanislas Limousin Committee].

A Committee created in 1938 by Pr Goris decided to honour Stanislas Limousin--a dispensing chemist who invented, among other things, medicinal Cachets and pharmaceutical vials--by placing a medallion bearing his effigy upon the house where he was born in Ardentes. Ten years later, this Committee considered that quite a few other dispensing chemists deserved the same honour and selected four of them: Eugène Choay, Charles Tanret, Emile Boudier and Claude Nativelle: the aim of the author was find out whether those medallions had really been affixed on the respective birth places of these pharmacists and if they were still in place. It is the case for the first two of them. Concerning Boudier, his medallion was affixed on his pharmacy in Montmorency and is still there. As for Nativelle, his medallion, if ever affixed, was laid down and recently found again an attic of the faculty of pharmacy.

[Tokens of deans of the Faculty of Medicine of Paris which evoke pharmaceutical recollections].

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.

[Establishment of pharmacy education from 1803 to 1994].

Schools of pharmacy were created by the law of germinal 21, year XI (of the French Republican calendar) in Paris, Montpellier and Strasbourg, and also in Turin and Genoa where these schools have been in existence for three or four years. From 1846, at various dates, the first three schools called themselves higher schools without any enactment. With the addition of the school of Nancy, which had replaced that of Strasbourg from 1871 to 1918, the schools became Faculties of pharmacy by the decree of may 14, 1920. Considering that three schools were insufficient for teaching pharmacy, about twenty preparatory schools of medicine and pharmacy were created by the order of march 12, 1840, in which studies in pharmacy lasted only three years. From 1874, some of those schools were turned into mixed faculties of medicine and pharmacy or into full practice schools. In 1955, the eleven remaining schools became national schools, and by 1968 all had become mixed faculties. The law of november 12, 1968 converted faculties into UERs (Units of Education and Research) and that of june 26, 1984 into UFRs, attached to the new universities. The faculty of pharmacy of Paris was divided into two, one half being attached to the University of Paris V and the other to the University of Paris XI.

[Doctorates in medicine and pharmacy].

Pharmacists had to wait until the Delong Act in 1979 to obtain a diploma of professional practice giving them the title of doctor. Since 1898, some of them could be called "Doctor of Pharmacy", but this title was neither a university degree nor a diploma of professional practice. A state doctorate of pharmacy was created in 1939 and replaced in 1977 by the doctorate of pharmaceutical sciences which was suppressed in 1984, like all other doctorates as university degrees. With the present reform, the doctorate of medicine, which was both a university degree and a diploma of professional practice, has only kept this latter qualification as "state diploma of doctor of medicine", like the pharmacists new diploma of professional practice. Physicians and pharmacists can now only obtain the highest university grade with the "doctorate" created in 1984. The conditions of obtention are indicated.

[The symbol of the three kingdoms in nature and the pharmaceutical tokens of Paris].

A token from the Municipal Series in Paris (Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, Cabinet des Médailles) discovered by C. Aurensan bears on the obverse the arms of Paris and on the reverse the symbol of the three kingdoms in nature with its legend. This reverse is identical to those tokens made for Parisian apothecaries in 1628, 1629 and 1632. Unfortunately the date which it bears is poorly engraved and one cannot determine whether it reads 1619 or 1629. Several arguments militate in favor of 1619.

[On the most ancient of the "Brenet medals"].

The founding of the Schools of Pharmacy was celebrated in the Year XII by the issuing of fifty silver medals engraved by Brenet and intended for these schools. Only two of them have since been located. But, the "Brenet medals" have also served as prizes in competitions in the School of Pharmacy of Paris since the Year XII and for the Pharmaceutical Society. The autor is in possession of one, also bestowed in the Year XII, but for a "Second Prize in Botany" in Rouen, a city which was at that time without an official teaching institution in medicine or pharmacy. Its recipient was probably a medical student taking courses organized in the Hotel-Dieu of Rouen.

[Pharmacological Society in Paris and its awards].

The Société de Pharmacie de Paris started in 1804 to award prizes firstly intended for students in pharmacy after competitive examinations, then, from 1807, for anyone devoted to the advancement of pharmaceutical sciences. Since 1861, the Société de Pharmacie, which became Académie de Pharmacie in 1946 and Académie Nationale de Pharmacie in 1979, has payed particular attention to awarding a prize to the best thesis defended each year at the Ecole de Pharmacie de Paris (now Faculté de Pharmacie).

[The green and the red in pharmacy].

The green colour is historically used as a symbolic mark for the French Pharmacy. Green and red are important for the labelling of dangerous and toxic drugs respectively. Etymological channels about green and red are studied for many words belonging to the pharmaceutical vocabulary and the authorized dying matters. Discussion is led in the field of the semantic signification in Pharmacy at several times.
