(Theophilus), an eminent physician born at Geneva, March 15th 1620. He took his degree in physic in 1643, after he had gone through most of the famous universities, and was for some time physician to the duke of Longueville. Mean while his skill in his profession got him considerable practice; but being seized with deafness, it obliged him to retire from business, which gave him leisure to collect all the observations he had made during a practice of 40 years. He wrote, 1. Polyaltheis, seu Thesaurus Medici Pratico, 3 vols folio. 2. Labyrinthis Medicis extricati. 3. Medicini Septentrionalis Collatitia; and other works.
