LOIR Adrien Charles [Lyon, 1862 - Paris, 1941], bactériologi - Lot 389
LOIR Adrien Charles [Lyon, 1862 - Paris, 1941], bactériologiste français. Nephew of Pasteur by marriage and his assistant during the crucial years of the career of the founder of microbiology; assistant to Louis Thuillier. Signed autograph letter dated Australia, addressed to Achille Maucuer. Sydney, 30 October 1891; 4 pages in-8°, stamped envelope enclosed. In 1888, he travelled to Australia to research anthrax and contagious bovine pleuropneumonia. While there, he is studying the use of the chicken cholera virus in an attempt to eliminate rabbits that were swarming on the continent. "I've been in Australia for almost 18 months, I've been vaccinating anthrax, growing the peripneumonia virus in calves, inoculating kangaroos with anthrax, finding tuberculosis in pigs if red mullet isn't there, it's always q.q. thing, I am appointed by the government to be the guardian of Sarah Bernhardt's dogs during her stay in Australia, I speak French regularly once a month, it is a very good exercise not to forget this beautiful language, finally I spend my time as pleasantly as possible, but there are still days when I would like to be in Bollène! Only you must understand that I cannot, at this time at least, respond to your kind invitation. I don't know completely where the red mullet vaccine is, if you still need q.q. information, write to Mr. Perdrix at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, but I suppose that already, astonished not to receive an answer from me, you are in communication with my uncle" . We enclose a pamphlet: "Hommage à Pasteur" by M. A. Mauguer. François Seguin, printer-publisher, Avignon, 1895. 21 pages in-4, uncut, paperback.
