Jousset conducted clinical trials with tuberculinum aviare,
In another article, collaborated with G Proust (_L’Art médical_, Nov. 1907), Jousset’s opinion, from an experience with more than forty phthisical patients, was that the bouillon of Denys, with a careful technique, is entirely inoffensive, and that its beneficial influence is shown by the constitutional condition, the febrile movement, and even by the condition of the pulmonary lesion.
Jousset remarks that, in this treatment, the cure is assured when the injections of pure filtered bouillon do not produce an increase in temperature. In such case, and then only, we must discontinue the treatment.
Jousset also conducted clinical trials with pancreatic juice:
Long before the discovery of Insulin Pierre Jousset of Paris prepared a pancreatic juice on a glycerine basis which he administered to diabetic patients in doses of 10 or 20 drops a day in water and had results sufficiently good to consider pancreatic juice, orally administered, as a remedy of great value in diabetes.
Jousset was born at Nantes in Brittany,
… the French Catholic physician Pierre Jousset, protesting in 1889 against what he saw as the new religion of evolutionary naturalism: ”Anti Christian science has perhaps never been more dangerous than at this moment. Rich in positive knowledge, it has become proud and authoritarian. The intolerance it blames on the Catholic Church has become its supreme law. It imposes its theories as dogmas, its hypotheses as incontestable truths; the dreams of imagination become articles of faith - science is infallible!”
