Excerpt from Original Contributions of Louisiana to Medical Sciences: A Biographic Study Dr. Henry Dickson Bruns has devised a new operation for shortening the straight muscles of the eye-ball. It is quite ingenious. The doctor is from New Orleans. He is a graduate of Tulane. He is the head surgeon of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital. He is 56 years old. Dr. Oscar Dowling was the first president of the Louis iana State Board of Health to equip, in the South, health trains which he carries over all the parishes of Louisiana and of the Southern States to teach the people, by actual demonstrations and lantern slide exhibitions how to pre serve and improve their health. That is the true mission of a State Board of Health. Dr. Dowling graduated from Tulane and was practicing irhinology and laryngology before his genius found its true path. He is 39 years old.

Excerpt from Original Contributions of Louisiana to Medical Science: A Bibliographic Study graphic Study. In a previous paper read December 15, 1915, before the Louisiana Historical Society the subject was considered biographically, i.e. gave specially an account of the lives of the contributors, whereas in this bibliographic study it is specially their writings and achievements that are described. All the contributors from Louisiana are from the City of New Orleans, except Dr. Prevost. Dr. Francois Prevost practiced in Donaldsonville. In 1830 (?)he performed the first Cesarian Section in America. He operated four times successfully losing but one mother and operating twice on the same woman. His claim is well established in a paper published by Dr. Robert P. Harris of Philadelphia, published in the New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal, June, 1879, page 933. Dr. - Dubourg, (New Orleans) was the first to perform vaginal hysterectomy in America, if not in the world. (Statement of Professor E. S. Lewis of Tulane.) Dr. Charles Aloysius Luzenberg, 1805-1848,(New Orleans) first removed gangrenous bowel in hernia, and sutured the ends successfully. Dr. John Leonard Riddell, 1807-1865,(New Orleans) invented the binocular microscope. Dr. Warren Stone, 1808-1892, (New Orleans) was the first to resect a portion of rib to secure permanent drainage in cases of empyema. He was the first to apply a wire ligature to a human artery for aneurism. He applied it to the common iliac for an aneurism of the external iliac. He first cured a traumatic aneurism of the second portion of the subclavian artery by digital compression. Priority is also claimed by Dr. Jonathan Knight of New Haven, Conn. Digital compression is undoubtedly an American procedure. Dr. Charles Jean Faget, Sr., 1818-1884, (New Orleans) discovered the lack of correlation between the pulse and the temperature in yellow fever. While the temperature goes up the pulse goes down or remains stationary. It is pathognomonic of yellow fever. Dr. Tobias Gibson Richardson, 1827-1892, (New Orleans) was the first to amputate both legs at the hip joint at one time in the same subject, the patient recovering. He was the first to write an Anatomy in which English names were substituted for the Latin names. He was the first to use strong injections of nitrate of silver for cytitis. His wife's devotion to his memory caused her to contribute magnificent buildings on Tulane Campus devoted to medical education.

In order to assist the students in studying over and over, a list of numbered questions with corresponding numbers in the text has been placed at the end of the book. It will enable them to examine themselves and to become familiar with those ques tions, which will be the same that they will have to answer in the examining room. To assist the students also in the Dissecting Rooms, the poste rior surface of the organs is described last, though systematically it should come second. But as this study implies a removal of the organ or a great disturbance in the parts not yet studied, those parts should be studied first and then the posterior surface.

(Excerpt from Reminiscences of Dr. J. Marion Sims in Paris...)
Excerpt from Reminiscences of Dr. J. Marion Sims in Paris Early one morning in the latter part of October, 1861, the year the War of Secession broke out, I was going to the hospital, and, as I was about to enter the gate, my attention was attracted at once by the face and appear ance of a man who was coming toward the gate also, but from the opposite direction. T hat the face and appear ance struck me at once will readily be believed by all those who have had the happiness of knowing our great American surgeon. Its characteristic soft and sweet ex pression, together with his deep-set, bright eyes and prominent, bushy eyebrows, the half~smiling expression of his mouth, left uncovered by the absence of mustache or beard, made a much deeper impression on me than a glance ordinarily produces. I also at once recognized that he was a foreigner, and no Englishman at that, but surely and unmistakably an American, perhaps, hastily thought my young rebel heart, a Southerner; he must be that, I thought immediately afterward, because he looked so gentle and good, and yet, withal, so firm and self reliant. All this took but a few seconds, and I con tinned my course toward the ward to which I was as signed, walking through the yards with another student and the stranger coming up behind. When I reached the door of my ward I went through and closed it it was soon opened again and closed turning around I noticed my American. The doctor told me later that at the foot of the stairs the other student went in another direction than I, and he was perplexed for a moment as to which one he would follow after a little hesitation he said to himself Well, I think I Will stick to the little one. The little one was myself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Edmond was born on December 1, 1841 in Opelousas, Saint Landry Parish, Louisiana, United States, the son of Eugene Souchon, "surgeon dentist, " and Caroline (Pettit) Souchon, both natives of France.
He was sent at first to private schools at Saint Martinville, Louisiana, Mobile, Alabma, and New Orleans, Louisiana, but later, when his father suffered ill health and financial reverses, he went to public school and sold papers to aid his family. Reviving fortune took him in 1860 to Paris, where he studied medicine, ranked fourth among three hundred and fifty in the grilling concours for internship in Paris hospitals, and served at Charite under the famous surgeon, Alfred Armand Velpeau.
He graduated in 1867 from the medical department of the University of Louisiana (later the Tulane University of Louisiana).
Upon his graduation in 1867 from the medical department of the University of Louisiana (later the Tulane University of Louisiana), Souchon became Tobias Gibson Richardson's prosector and later his chief of clinic at Charity Hospital of New Orleans, and assisted him in private practice for many years.
He was demonstrator of anatomy in the medical department of the University of Louisiana (Tulane), 1873-76, and from 1885 until 1908 served as professor of anatomy and clinical surgery, his aim being to teach anatomy "in its direct practical application" to the needs of the medical practitioner.
As a surgeon he was typical of the operators drilled in the quick French school of the sixties, and in the surgical renaissance of the seventies and the eighties he evolved his own methods in keeping with antisepsis and asepsis.
Led to study aneurisms and shoulder dislocations, he wrote many monographs that are "conspicuous landmarks" in the history of these subjects, "undoubtedly the most enduring literary monuments of his surgical career".
He died in 1924.

(Excerpt from Reminiscences of Dr. J. Marion Sims in Paris...)
Souchon was a member of the American Medical Association, the Southern Surgical and Gynecological Society, and the American Surgical Association (1899); he was a fellow of the American Association of Anatomists, honorary fellow of the American College of Surgeons (1914), and corresponding member of the Societe Nationale de Chirurgie de Paris.
A man whose very positive convictions were often tinged with abruptness, he possessed many peculiarities that lent themselves to anecdote. In spite of his dominating passion for punctuality and method, he was capable of great outbursts of enthusiasm, expressed with typical French volubility and gaiety. His life was marked by loyal friendships and devoted domestic ties.
On December 6, 1869, he married Corinne Lavie of New Orleans; they had three children, a son, who became a surgeon, and two daughters.
