## Biography

A student in hospitals and journalist with L’Événement, Le Temps, Gil Blas, the Voltaire (1883-1891) or, among others, the Journal (1892), he graduated Doctor of Medicine (Paris, 1896) and was distinguished for his research on cancer by applying calcium carbide fragments on cancerous parts and obtained the cessation of pain and bleeding.
