Felix Pascalis-Ouvriere was born circa 1750 in France.
Felix Pascalis-Ouvrier received his degree of Doctor of Medicine at Montpellier.
Felix Pascalis-Ouvriere practised medicine among the French colonists in Santo Domingo for a number of years, until the slave insurrection in 1793, under Toussaint l'Ouverture, forced him to flee. With many other refugees, he embarked for Philadelphia, where he practised for the next seventeen years. He wrote much on medical subjects. In 1798 he signed his writing Pascalis-Ouvrière, but in 1801 and later called himself Felix Pascalis. He had had experience with yellow fever in the West Indies and was therefore qualified to write on that disease, of which there were several severe outbreaks in Philadelphia during his residence there. In 1796 he published Medico-Chymical Dissertations on the Causes of the Epidemic Called Yellow Fever, and on the Best Antimonial Preparations for the Use of Medicine, by a Physician, Practitioner in Philadelphia, and followed this in 1798 by An Account of the Contagious Epidemic Yellow Fever, which prevailed in Philadelphia in the summer and autumn of 1797, to which he signed his name.
Felix Pascalis-Ouvriere was at this time a follower of Benjamin Rush in his belief in the domestic origin of the disease, but later, after a trip to Cadiz and Gibraltar in 1805 to study the diseases of hot climates, he changed his views and held that yellow fever was imported by fomites carried in ships. In 1801 he was vice-president of the Chemical Society of Philadelphia and delivered the annual oration. Two letters by him were published in the first volume (1805) of the Philadelphia Medical Museum: Account of an Abscess of the Liver Terminating Favorably by Evacuation through the Lungs, describing a case in which he himself was the patient, and "On the Nature and Effects of Syphilitic Agonorrhoea. About 1810 he left Philadelphia and moved to New York, where he lived until his death in 1833.
Another subject which greatly absorbed him was the danger of urban burials. In 1823 he published a book entitled An Exposition of the Dangers of Interment in Cities, in which he advocated the construction at a distance from every large city of a "Polyandrum" or general cemetery, where all the dead of the city should be interred in hermetically sealed vaults. The grounds were to be surrounded by high stone walls with deep-laid foundations. As the Polyandrum would be situated at a considerable distance from the city, a series of stations, which Pascalis called "luctuaries, " were to be built at suitable intervals to afford opportunities for the mourning cortège to rest. In his book he stated that a company was being organized to carry his ideas into effect. Felix Pascalis-Ouvriere died on July 29, 1833.
