Denys Boyveau-Laffecteur, c. 1750-1812, French physician, was the author of several pamphlets on Rob Anti-Syphilitique, published in 1781 and later
years. It is not clear which was in the Jefferson collection. The title-page of an edition in the Library of Congress (1810)
describes the author as “Médecin, Chimiste et Auteur de ce Remède que depuis 50 ans il fournit aux Hôpitaux de la Marine,
et avec le quel il s’est chargé envers le Gouvernement de la guérison des Malades reconnus incurables par le Mercure et tous
les autres Remèdes”.
