[The religious physician and Geneva theologian. A letter written in 1802 by M. F. R. Buisson to Pierre Picot].

In a letter addressed to Pierre Picot, professor of divinity at the Academy of Geneva, the young doctor Matthieu-François-Régis Buisson (1776-1804) describes the climate of tension in which he had to defend his thesis at the Medical Faculty of Paris. He advocates a kind of holy alliance between Christian physicians and theologians against the party dominating the Ecole de médecine, in which the ideology of the Encyclopédie together with Pinel's anticlericalism and Cabanis's materialistic monism prevail.

Chlorosis -the "green sickness".

The literature of the nineteenth century often referred to chlorosis. Some examples, taken from French sources, are mentioned. The illness was only given its name at the beginning of the seventeenth century, but the clinical picture of febris alba virginum had been known for a long time previously. The history of chlorosis is interesting because of the variety of explanations, including the psychological, it attracted before it came to be recognized as due to hypochromic anaemia or iron deficiency.
