scheme of public assistance. Many difficulties were put in his way, however, and he therefore returned until 1624 to See also:Poitou, where Richelieu made him " See also:commissary See also:general of the poor." It was six years before he was able to begin his See also:work in Paris by opening an See also:information See also:bureau at the sign of the See also:Grand Coq near the See also:Pont See also:Saint-See also:Michel. This bureau d'adresse was labour bureau, intelligence See also:department, See also:exchange and charity organization in one; and the sick were directed to doctors prepared to give them See also:free treatment. Presently he established a free dispensary in the See also:teeth of the opposition of the See also:faculty in Paris. The Paris faculty refused to accept the new medicaments See also:pro-posed by the heretic from Montpellier, restricting themselves to the old prescriptions of See also:blood-letting and purgation. In addition to his bureau d'adresse Renaud established a See also:system of lectures and debates on scientific subjects, the reports of which from 1633 to 1642 were published in 1651 with the See also:title Recueil See also:des conferences publiques; Under the See also:protection of Richelieu he started the first French newspaper, the See also:Gazette (1631), which appeared weekly and contained See also:political and See also:foreign See also:news. He also edited the Mercure See also:francais and published all manner of reports and See also:pamphlets. In 1637 he opened in Paris the first Mont de Piete, an institution of which he had seen the advantages in See also:Italy.
