‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE de la THESE de doctorat présentée par P. RAYER à la Faculté de médecine de Paris le 7 Août 1818 ---- "P. Rayer studied medicine at Paris where he received his doctorate in 1818. He was physician at Saint-Antoine for seven years before being named chief physician to the Charité where he spent the remainder of his career. He served as personal physician to King Louis Philippe, as well as Napoléon III and was appointed dean of the Paris Medical School by imperial edict in 1862. Rayer made a classic contribution to comparative medicine with his treatise on glanders, a contagious disease of horses. He was the first to name hydronephrosis and his traité des maladies des reins was a major contribution to the understanding of kidney diseases. One of the leading dermatologists of his era, he is credited with describing adenoma sebaceum, naming xanthoma and xanthoma diseminatum (Rayer's disease) and being the first to distinguish acute from chronic eczema".
