[The civil ambulances during the Franc-Prussion war (July 19, 1870 to January 28, 1871)].

The civil ambulances joined together under the emblem of the Red Cross: the Company of Help to the Wounded Soldiers, directed from the Palate of Industry by Chenu and Le Fort; the Ambulance of the Press, directed by Ricord and Mgr Bailer; and multiple ambulances disseminated in Paris. They brought a decisive help to the French medical military Corps. On the ground, eigtheen civil Ambulances from Countryside formed in Paris looked after the casualties of the two camps: around Sedan, then in the battles of the Loire and the East, where 13 ambulances formed secondarily in province joined them.

[The army of the East and health services].

A medical disaster due to the failure of a plan intended to free Belfort by an army of 90 000 men, formed by Bourbaki in Nevers, joined in Besancon by 40 000 men from Lyon and from Dijon. Envisaged in three days, the regrouping lasts three weeks. A gigantic railway blocking, by an icy cold, leaves in the trains of the soldiers without food, of the horses without irons nor fodder.

[The reform by Farabeuf of the practical education of anatomy and surgical medicine: Ten years street Vauquelin, 1877-1886].

Louis Hubert Farabeuf overhauled the practical anatomy and surgery education. In 1876, after the law about the reconstruction of the Faculty of Medicine, he was appointed professor of medicine and he let alone the terrible state of the practical surgery education in the Progrès Médical in Paris. Thus he was appointed master of anatomical education in 1878 and his New Practical School of Anatomy will become a model for future.

[Académie de chirurgue et SFHM].

The first meeting between the two associations happened in 1902, the Centenary year of Bichat's death. Then Paul Poirier talked about Bichat as an anatomist and Paul Jules Tillaux dealt with Bichat as a surgeon. In 1902 the "Société de Chirurgie de Paris" was nearly sixty years old as it had been created in 1843 by seventeen young hospital surgeons.

[Dissections places and mortuaries in Paris from 1200 to 1980].

Before French Revolution of 1789, Church and University forbid dissections for clerks and Doctors. The first, old Faculty in Bûcherie street had three amphitheatres in 1608 (Jabot), 1617 (Riolan), 1744 (Winslow). Two men taught anatomy, a latin speaking professor and a operating barber-surgeon.
