[The participation of pharmacists in the activities of the Society of Health of the town of Nancy (1796-1806)].
Revolution having suppressed the universities and constitution of year III having authorized citizens to form free societies, a "Society of health of the town of Nancy" was formed in 1795-1796. Its aims were the teaching of medicine and pharmacy students, the diffusion of knowledges, the help to poors and the protection of health. Two pharmacists, Willemet and Mandel, were among the founders; they were joined by Nicolas, formerly professor at the faculty of médicine. All three became professors at the society. Mandel was the author of numerous studies and Willemet remained some years as a member of the board of the society which disappeared in 1806-1807. The Society was a hyphen between old and new structures, and the presence and activity of our fellows were significative.
