29th of November, 1885, after a protracted illness and much

successively Inspector General of the Veterinary Schools of 
France, Member of the Academy of Medicine, Commander of 
the Legion of Honor, Professor of Comparative Pathology at the 
Museum of Natural History, and last, but not least, President of 
the Academy of Sciences, a position in the profession of medicine 
never before obtained by any veterinarian. 
But of all his titles, that which it gave him the greatest
