Labrude, Joseph Sigisbert Mandel (1749 - 1820) [...], one of Nancy's greatest pharmacists of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. "Mettemberg water, or "anti-psoric quintessence", is a secret medicine, hence the name "secret remedy", used to treat scabies. It was proposed in 1794 (year III) by the former military surgeon Joseph Mettemberg. This external remedy was widely used, and its author enjoyed a great deal of support [particularly in government ministries]. In 1801 or 1802, Mandel was "approached by a fellow doctor" who was "experiencing serious accidents as a result of the external use of this specific drug" [...]. [...] At the public meeting of the Société de Santé held on 2 Messidor An X (June 21 1802), in the presence of the Prefect of the Meurthe department, he presented the results of his analyses of the drug, concluding: "It was with the greatest surprise that I discovered that the base of this specific was one of the most deleterious, one of the most active poisons known, muriate of mercury suroxygenated, today called corrosive sublimated mercury". Mandel was not mistaken about the toxicity of this compound, now called mercuric chloride, which did not prevent the water from continuing its long career". (P. Labrude). This collection illustrates the controversy between the inventor and his detractors.
