The French government supported research into vaccines and vaccination actively awarding prize monies beginning in 1801. "Deval was the most outstanding among the pupils of Julius Sichel." He studied medicine and graduated 1834 as doctor in Paris dedicating . . . "himself to ophthalmology after he had been trained by Sichel for four years." He published numerous case reports and we have to assume that he treated many patients. Deval "tells us that his institute was visited by a great number of physicians and students and that he taught some of them ocular operations and as soon as he was sure that they had a steady hand he let them operate on his patients. These operations were quite successful. Deval never operated with the strictest indication. He was overtaken by his knife-happy colleagues and died a poor man." Hirschberg.
