[Constant Charles Delprat, editor-in-chief of the Dutch Journal of Medicine 1889-1896].
Constant Charles Delprat (1854-1934) was a general practitioner and for many years a central figure in the Vereeniging Nederlandsch Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde (Dutch Journal of Medicine Society). He was particularly interested in bacteriology and travelled to Berlin in 1890 to obtain tuberculin, which was said to cure tuberculosis patients, but he returned empty handed. He reported this experience in the Journal. One of his other interests was medical history. Today, he is mainly remembered for writing the history of the first 50 years of the Journal and of the Dutch medical periodicals prior to 1857, the year that the Dutch Journal of Medicine was first published.
