Henri Haguenot, French doctor, born in Montpellier in 1687, died in the same city in 1775. He first successfully taught medicine in his hometown and was appointed member of the Royal Society in 1711, after being admitted to it first as a student. He occupied the chair of medicine created for him in 1715 for 50 years. He was also appointed one of the perpetual trustees of the Hotel-Dieu, to which he bequeathed his splendid library. It was he who found another method of treating syphilis which has become famous under the name of the Montpellier method.
