UPUYTREN, one of France's greatest surgeons, until, in after years, they themselves became sufficiently great to become its Consulting Surgeons. In France, honors are gained by ability alone, and not, as here, by political influence and wire-pulling.} The following is a list of the French Hospitals with which Civiale and Lallemand were connected during their lives. HOTEL DIEU. LA PITIE. LA CHARITE. LARABOISIERE. St. ANTOINE. HOPITAL NECKAR. HOPITAL COCHIN. HOPITAL St. LOUIS. HOPITAL Du MIDI. HOPITAL LOURCINE. La MATERNITE. HOSPICE BICETRE. We next give extracts from Appleton's Cyclopedia, to which reference has already been made. LALLEMAND, CLAUDE FRANCOIS, a French physician, born in Metz, Jan. 26, 1790, died in Marseilles, Aug. 25, 1854. After serving as assistant surgeon in the armies of the Empire, he studied in Paris at the Hotel Dieu under Dupuytren, and, from 1819 to 1845, was Professor of Clinical Surgery at Montpelier, with the exception of three years, during which he was suspended for his liberal political expressions. His most important work, _Recherches Anatomica Pathologiques sur l'Encephale et ses Dependances_ (Paris, 1820-1836), established his reputation, and was translated into many languages. In 1845 he was elected to the _Academy of Sciences_, removed to Paris, and was consulted by patients from every part of Europe. He bequeathed 50,000 francs to the Institute. --[_Appleton's Cyclopedia, vol. x, p. 144._ {Illustration: Prof. JEAN CIVIALE.} {Illustration: Prof. CLAUDE F. LALLEMAND} CIVIALE, JEAN, a French surgeon, the originator of the operation of Lithotrity, born near Thiezac, Auvergne, 1792, died in Paris, June 13, 1867. At a very early age, while a pupil of Dupuytren at the _Hotel Dieu_ hospital in Paris, his attention is said to have been attracted to the subject of his future discovery; and, after many years of perseverance, he succeeded in perfecting and introducing to the profession his new operation of lithotrity. Before that time the only means was the serious and often dangerous operation of lithotomy (SEE STONE). He was the teacher of several generations of lithotriptists, became a member of the MEDICAL ACADEMY, and an officer of the LEGION OF HONOR. His principal publications are: _De la Lithotritie, ou brolement de la pierre_, (_Paris_), 1827); _Lettres sur la Lithotritie, &c._ (1827); _Traite pratique et historique de la Lithotritie_ (1847); _Resultats Clini
