The famous physician Charles-Louis Dumas (1765 - 1813) was vice-professor of medicine at the faculty of Montpellier (1791) at the age of 23, professor at the central school of Lyon and physician at the Hôtel-Dieu of Lyon during the siege that this city supported against the army of the Convention (he treated the wounded of both camps). He was imprisoned after the surrender of the city on 9 October 1793 but managed to escape and flee abroad. In 1794 he was appointed professor and then director (chair of anatomy and physiology) of the new health school created in Montpellier, dean of the faculty of medicine of Montpellier in 1807, professor of clinical medicine, rector of the academy (1809-1813), ordinary adviser of the imperial university (9 June 1812) and holder of the Legion of Honour. His memoir on the nature of fever contains Grimaud's doctrine without notable change.
