[Pharmacists at the imperial School of the Service of military health of Strasbourg (1856-1870)].

Military chemists became regular soldiers and officers: their training became resolutely scientific and their assignments covered extensive fields.

[The imperial School of the Service of military health of Strasbourg (1856-1870)].

Heiress of an important tradition of teaching, the School of Pharmacy from Strasbourg created in 1803 trained numerous chemists whose numerous held important positions in the Health Service of the armies. The creation of the imperial School of the military Health service in Strasbourg in 1856 and its difficult beginnings due to unsuitable premises represented from Strasbourg an economic opportunity and a chance for the Faculty of Medicine. The integration of the chemists into the imperial School in 1864 will confirm the distinguished role of the School of Pharmacy into the pharmaceutical teaching until 1870.
