| Description: | "Pare experimented with various substances to soak the bandages and presented his results in his major work, La methode de traicter les playes faictes par hacquebutes et aultres bastons a feu, et de celles qui sont faictes par fleches, dardz, et semblables (The method of treating wounds made by harquebuses and other firearms, and those made by arrows, darts, and the like), published in 1545. He was at first disbelieved because he did not know Latin. He wrote in the vernacular at a time when all learned treatises were supposed to be written in Latin. After 1552, when King Henri II appointed him as one of the royal surgeons, such criticism diminished." Image: Ambroise Paré treating a soldier. |
