Notes: Note: The modern use of gold compounds in medicine was initiated in the early 18th century by the work of Jean Andr ̐ư Chrestien and Pierre Figuier, two professors at the University of Montpellier. Figuier, a pharmacist, described the chemical formulation for the gold compounds, in particular gold sodium chloride, which the clinician, Chrestien, advocated as of value in the treatment of tuberculosis and syphilis.
