- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church, but his own inclination was towards the study of See also:medicine; and, after learning something from the See also:barber-surgeon of his native See also:village, he was settled as an apprentice in the military See also:hospital of See also:Belfort, where he acquired some knowledge of See also:anatomy and military See also:surgery. Going to See also:Paris when about twenty years of See also:age, he opened a school of anatomy in the See also:winter of 1766, the success of which excited the See also:jealousy of the established teachers and professors, who endeavoured to make him give up his lectures. In 1776 he was admitted a member of the See also:corporation of surgeons; and in 1782 he was appointed surgeon-See also:major to the hospital De la Charite. Within a few years he was recognized as one of the leading surgeons of See also:France. The clinical school of surgery which he instituted at the Hotel Dieu attracted See also:great See also:numbers of students, not only from every See also:part of France but also from other countries; and he frequently had an See also:audience of about 600. He introduced many improvements into the practice of surgery, as well as into the construction of various surgical
See also:instruments. In 1791 he established a See also:Journal de chirurgerie, edited by his pupils, which was a See also:record of the most interesting cases that had occurred in his clinical school, with the remarks which he had made upon them in the course of his lectures. But in the midst of his labours he became See also:obnoxious to some of the revolutionists, and he was, on some frivolous See also:charge, denounced to the popular sections. After being twice examined, he was seized on the 28th of May 1793, while delivering a lecture, carried away from his See also:theatre, and committed to See also:prison in the Luxembourg. In three days, however, he was liberated, and permitted to resume his functions. He died in Paris on the 1st of See also:June 1795, the See also:story that his See also:death was caused by See also:poison being disproved by the See also:autopsy carried out by his See also:- PUPIL (Lat. pupillus, orphan, minor, dim. of pupus, boy, allied to puer, from root pm- or peu-, to beget, cf. "pupa," Lat. for " doll," the name given to the stage intervening between the larval and imaginal stages in certain insects)
pupil, M. F. X. See also:Bichat. A See also:pension was settled on his widow by the See also:republic. Together with See also:Francois Chopart (1743—1795) he published Q. Traite See also:des maladies chirurgicales (1779), and Bichat published a See also:digest of his surgical doctrines in CEuvres chirurgicales de Desault (1998—1799).
