On November 26, 1900, René Monod, resident in Professor E douard Brissaud's department, wrote at Brissaud's request a report on the cases of smallpox which had happened in his department at the Hôtel-Dieu since September. This unpublished document attests to Brissaud's interest in hygienism, Pasteurism and Jennerian vaccination.
