VILLARS, Charles, French surgeon, born in Bayonne about 1760; died in Mexico in 1814. He was a marine surgeon, served in Santo Domingo and several of the West Indies, afterward practised medicine with success in Porto Rico, and about 1800 began a journey through the West Indies and South America to popularize vaccination, visiting also Central America and Mexico, and meeting everywhere with great success. It may be said that he introduced vaccination where it was altogether unknown or distrusted. He wrote "Traite et art de la vaccination" (Havana, 1804); "Memoire sur les proprietes antisyphilitiques de certaines solanees de l'Amerique du Sud," addressed to the Paris academy of sciences in 1808; and "Traite du quina" (1814).
