Auguste Nicolas Gendrin, a French physician, born at Chateaudun, Dec. 6,1796. He received a doctor's diploma in 1821, and published on this occasion Du traitement de le blennor-rhagie, relating to his new method of injecting opium. His Recherches sur la nature et sur les causes prochaines des fievres (2 vols., 1823), and his Histoire anatomique des inflammations (2 vols., 1826), which latter has been translated into German, won academical prizes, as did some of his subsequent writings, the most renowned being his Traite philosophique de medecine pratique (3 vols., 1838-'41). After having been attached to various hospitals, he was from 183G to 18GG the principal physician of La Pitie. During the June insurrection of 1832 he incurred odium for having, as alleged, reported to the authorities political offenders on whom he had happened to attend professionally; and his Memoire medico-legal, showing that the prince of Conde did not die by his own hands in 1830, but by those of assassins, also gave rise to unfavorable comments, which he endeavored in vain to combat.
