Dupuytren, inthe science of facts, was a | man of action He was to be admired less for | theoretic invention than for a prodigious fac- | ulty of application. His scientific discove j ies do not permit him to rank with a Petit, a Pott, ora Desault, while, on the other hand, | that marvellous skiil which he exercised— that fecundity of resources in the midet of the most dangerous complication—that admirable quickness of vision—that infallible judgment | by the fouch, made him the first practitioner | ina science where practice followa the fuot- } — of theory. ischaracter, as might be supposed, was! moulded by the profession his genius had | destined him to follow. This man, who had | every day in his hands the lives of s0 many | human beinge, whose decreee were without | appeal, could not have much sympathy for | poor and pitiable humanity, which, seen frem so near a point of view, appeared to him co small a matter wien compared with the sa cessful results of his practice Besides which the heart becomes habituated to see suffering. For these marshalsof science individual lives are regarded in the same light as soldiers whom itis necessary to sacrifice in order to gain a great battle. We mut confess, in spite of the respect due to so great a man, that Dupuytren, perhaps mere than any other, luoked upon life aud hu- manity with profound and sad disdain. His character was harsh, cold, and despotic. He carried into the world, into his exterior raja- tions, that rigorous and inflexible will which made his pupils and subordinates in the hos pital tremble. Popular exaggeration relates cruel acts of that sovereign contempt which he had for humanity, and it would pain us to relate facts with which our memory is only too well plied. 3 coll were wounded by his pride sud pretensions to ex- elusive douinion ‘Lhe retirement ef Pelle ton—to whom he owned more than respec: retirement provoked by him, revived and pa ticularized his antipath So that when M M Ortiia, Larrey, Pariset, Bouiiland, Royer, Collard, &e , prono’ ed o his open tomb the most magnificent panegyric on the father of modern surgery, none of them dared to go further and accord even cne cf the common eulogies of private life—one of the amiable and affectionate virtues of the fire-cide—to the man whom death bad just taken Da- puytron was regretted but unmourned for Pushing to the last limits his doctrine of ab- solute positiveness, Dupuytren combatted with the most determined ardor against every thing that be called utopian speculation. By legrees his antipathy degenerated into cxe- eration. His high position at the Qvuurt of Kestoration sometimes, however, wrested from nim certain concessions from these principles so irrevocably rooted in his mind. But the dissimulation to which Dupuytren resigned himself, without appearing to cost him much, only irritated him, and increased his hatred for opiniona not his own, and for persons who maintained those opin‘ons. Dupuytren worked almost constantiy, and few men have led a life so busy az his © Win- ter and summer he rose at five o’clock in the morning “He visited the Hotel Dicu at seven, and remained there until eleven He then made his vistts, and returned home to receive invalids for consultation. Although he dis- miszed them with a celerity almost brutal every duy, they were so numerous that his sonsultations were often prolonged after night Lad come One day the consultations were prolonged even later than usual, and Dapuytren, ex- hausted by fatigue, was about taking some repose, when the last patient presented him- self at the door of his cabinet He was an old man, of short stature, whose age it waa difficult to divine. His face, full and rosy, over which it was evident a razor id never paased, had something about it lump and delicate. Beneath a brow slight ly furrowed with wrinkles. he had a well formed aquiline nose and a small mouth. His hands and feet were in proportion to his di- minutive size In his olue eyes—in hi ) loguomy—in his gestures—there was timi sweetness and exquisite goodness He car- ried in his band a stout cane, and he was dressed in deep black. When he bowed he exposed a large toasure—it was that of a priest Dupuytren regarded him with a cold and icy look. “What is the matter with you?’ said he, harshly. ** Doctor,”’ replied the priest mildly, ‘I ask permission to sit down. My poor legs are rather old. Two years ago I had a swelling inmy neck The medical officer of my vil- tage (1 am cure of D——, near Nemours) told ne at first it was of ne consequence, but it went on increasing, and at the end of four months an abscess opened iteelf.

I thought to mycelf it is not right that everybody should inconvenience himself for me. And then, you know, there are first communions, catechisms, &e His lordship the bishop at last sent me a covfiere to assiet mo. Then my parishioners tuld me to come to Paris to aan you I was some time deciding, because traveling costs a good deal of money, and there are a great many poor people in my parishes, but they insisted upon it, aud L obeyed. Here is my disease, Doctor,’ continued he, extending his neck. Dupuytren examined it for a long time. The neck of the invalid presented a hole more than an inch in diameter, and very deep. It was an abscess of the submaxillary gland, complicated with an aneurism of the caroted artery. The wound wasgangrened in several places, and the caso was of so grave a char- agter that Dupuytren was astonished that the invalid could stand before him. lie widened tho lips of the wound in order examination was ended, Dupuytren brusquely turned the head that he had between his two hands, and said with a sinister voice : ** Well. Monsieur Abbe, you must die!” The Abbe picked up his linon, and began to tie up his neck, without saying a word Du- uytren fixed hig eyes upon him all the time. When he had finished binding up his wound, the priest drew from his pocket a five franc piece, enveloped in paper, and put iton the chimney-piece. “Doctor, Iam not rich, and my poor are ** said be, with a gentl® smile, “ and forgive me, if | cannot pay a better fee for a consultation with Dr. Dupuytren. {fam very glad Ihave seen you; I shall at least bo prepared for what awaits me Perhaps, continued he with extreme sweetness, ** you might have announced this great news to me with alittle more precaution.

And he left the room. a Dupuytren remained pensive for a few mo- Tnents. This soul of iron, this genius of power was broken like fragile glass, by a few simple words from a poor old man, whom he had held weak and infirm between his lurge bands, and with whom he thought to divert himself, In ; that weak and suffering body, he met with a heart firmer than his own—a will more ener- ' getic than his He had found some one strong- | er than himeelf. He suddenly ruebed to the staircese, per- haps he did not wish to confess himself con- quered. The little priest was slowly descend- u the stairs, supporting himecif by the balustrade. ‘‘Monsieur l’ Abbe, will youcome up again’’’ The Abbe re-ascended the stairs ‘There is, perhaps, a means to gave you, if you will allow me to operate ’” ‘‘Oh, Doetor,’’ said the Abbe, relieving himself with some vivacity of bis cane and hat, * [ came to Paris for that purpose Ope- rate, operate, as mach as you like.”’ ‘But perhaps it will be a useless attempt, and the operation will be long and painful ‘* Operate, operate Doctor, I will endure all that is necessary. My poor parishoners wiil be so happy’ « Well you must enter the Hotel Dieu, Salle Sainte Agnes. You will be quite comfortable hero, and the Sisters will not allow ycu to want for amy thing. You must rest this even- ing and to-morrow—the day after— * That is enough Doctor, [ thank you.” Dupuytren traced a few words on a pieee of paper, and gave it to the priest. The Abbe soon after presented himself at the hospital, where he was immediately installed in a little bed, furnished with white coverlids, E@ery- body paid attention to his wants ‘Lhe little priest did not know how to thank them svffi ciently. Two days afterwards the five or six hundiel pupils, who every day foilowed their master round the wards of the hogpita!, had scarcely assembled when Dupuytren arrived. Me di- rected bis steps towards the priest's bed, und tollowed by this imposing cortege, the opora- tion commenced.

The sponges pressed the wound, were every moment removed filled with blood, which flowed very freely. The »porution lasted twenty-five minutes. The Abbe was calm and did not even kuit his brow. {t was only when a deep sigh broke from all present, as they stood around the bed, breath- with fear and attention, and when Dupuy- n said to him ‘it is all over,’’ that the Abbe turned slightly pale Dupuytren dressed the wound himself. + {think all will go well now,”’ said he in a friendly tone, ‘have you suffered much?” “T endeavored to th.nk of other things,’ replied the priest na few minutes he fell asleep Dupuytren examined him a moment in protuund silence. He then drew the white curtains round the couch, and continued his visite through the other wards of the hospital. The priest was saved Every moruing, when Dupuytren arrived, by a strange infraction of his havits, he passed the first beds and commenced his visit with that ef his favorite patient. Afterwards, when the Abbe could get up aud walk a few steps, Dupuytren, when the Clinique was over, would go to him, and make the patient take his arm, aud suiting his step with that of the convalescent, they walked round the room to- gether To those who knew the harshness with which Dapuytren habitually treatei bis pa iene, thiz change ef conduct was inexpli- cable When the Abbe was in a condition to bear the journey he took leave of the Sisters and the Doctor, and returned to his parishioners Some months afterwards Dupuytren, on his arrival at the Hotel-Dieu, saw his patient, who had been awaiting his arrivai in the Salle Saint Agnes, advancing towards him. The Abbe was still dressed in black, but he was covered with dust, and the condition of his <boes showed that he had walked a long dis- tance. He carried under his arm a long osier basket Dupuytren received him in a most cordial manner, and after assuring himsel( that the operation had been attended with no unfavorable results, he asked him what had brought him to Paris ** Doctor, ’ replied the Abbe, “this is the anniversary of the day you operated om me I could nos let the Sih of May puss away without coming to see you, and [I wished to bring you a little present I have put in my basket two of my best puilets, and some pears, such as you have never seen in Paris. You must promise me you will taste them Dupuytren shook him affectionately by the hand He invited the good old man to dine with him—but the Abbe refused, although with great regret, as his time was so much vc- cupied that it was necessary he shou'd return to D. at once For the following two years, on the 6th of May, Dupuytren saw the little priest arrive with his pears and his puilets.
