GASTON ROUSSEL

1877 - 1947

Gaston Roussel was first a veterinarian, then a doctor in medicine, an industrialist and a French entrepreneur.

Born in Auxonne , where his father, Julien Roussel, is a veterinarian who takes care of the horses of the important military garrison and where his mother is a hatter running a shop, Gaston is part of a family of three children, with Emma his older sister and Suzanne, her younger sister. A brilliant student, but quite undisciplined, he studied at the Lycée Carnot in Dijon , when his parents moved to this city, in particular to take care of little Suzanne who died of tuberculosis at the age of 18. Following in his father's footsteps, he began studying to be a veterinarian. Graduated from the veterinary school of Lyon in 1903, he left to live in Paris where, while practicing the profession of veterinarian, he prepared a diploma in medicine 

In 1909 , he obtained his medical degree with a final thesis on rabbit syphilis .

He discovers the properties of rabbit serum and demonstrates that this serum can revitalize people with anemia. Having to treat weak people with little resistance to disease, he demonstrates that rabbit serum, regenerated after a first bleeding, can strengthen human immune defenses, this serum having hemopoietic and hemostatic properties.

Doctor in medicine but also veterinarian, Gaston Roussel treated the horses of the Parisian omnibuses of which Romainville was the dormitory city, and he realizes, the experience helping, that the serum obtained from the horses has the same effect as the rabbit serum, but especially since it can be obtained in large quantities.

Also, Doctor Roussel created in Romainville in 1911 a small laboratory for the exploitation of horse serum coming from a second bleeding, therefore regenerated.

There is produced a drug capable of combating anemia, tuberculosis and hemorrhages, in the form of drinkable ampoules and tablets, called "Hemostyl".
