The almost unkown Morbid Anatomy of Harvey, Cocchi, Lancisi, Baglivi, Bellini and Malpighi is presented. These Scientists, better known in other fields of Medicine, made important contributions to "Organ Pathology". Lorenzo Bellini, moreover, with his "inter-organic" pathology, ruled by nerve fluids and blood circulation, may be considered also a precursor of Bichat.
That short biographical note, written for the centenary of Henri Fruchaud's birth, regretably appears somewhat late. Two components of the rich personality of this uncommon man are underlined: his passion for surgery, supported by anatomical researches which made him a well known author; and his patriotic devotion during this century two World Wars, when - testimonies prove this - his surgical skill, imagination and physical resistance rendered outstanding services recognized by the Nation. The critical evocation of his anatomical and surgical publications insists on the work of Henri Fruchaud in Hernia Surgery and try to make the reader sharing with the redactor and many worldwide surgeons admirative feelings.
Born in 1842 in a family of medical professors, Retzius was himself appointed professor in histology at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm 1877. His research in anatomy and anthropology resulted in several big theses on human cranies, brain anatomy, hearing organs in the animal series, and anatomy of the retina. He acquired the famous newspaper Aftonbladet, founded by the father of his wife Anna Hierta. As editor he was initially liberal and when Strindberg was accused of indecency, he defended him. Later on he became reactionary and as a member of the Swedish Academy he fought against the modern currents in literature and art. He was a generous donor to the academics and societies to which he belonged. He wrote poetry of rather dubious quality. He was estimated in the scientific societies but was often ridiculed in newspapers and magazines.
