The Boulevard de l'Hôpital (Pl. G, 25, 22. 23). between the
Place Valhubert (p. 318) and the Place d'Italie (p. 325), is traversed
by the omnibus (P) from Charonne to the Place d'Italie via Père-
Lachaise. In this boulevard is situated the Hôpital de la Salpetriere,
on the left. This vast establishment, originally an arsenal built by
Louis XIII., has been converted into an asylum for aged and insane
women, with a department for the treatment of nervous diseases in
both sexes. It includes 45 blocks of building, with 4682 windows and
3811 beds. In front is a bronze Statue of Dr. Pinel (1745-1826),
an eminent benefactor of the insane, by L. Durand, and near the
entrance is a Statue of Dr. Charcot (1825-93), the nerve-specialist
and pioneer of hypnotism, by Falguière. The first court contains
busts of Dr. Falret (1807-70) and Dr. Baillarger (1809-90). The
large amphitheatre of the institution contains a painting by Tony
Robert-Fleury, in which Dr. Pinel is represented as delivering the
insane from torture.

The Boulevard St. Marcel (Pl. G, 22) diverges here to the right,
passing a Horse Market (Wed. & Sat. afternoon), where dogs and
bicycles are also sold (on Sun.), and a bronze Statue of Joan of Arc,
by Chatrousse. The boulevard ends at the Av. des Gobelins (p. 323).

Almost opposite the Joan of Arc statue, on the right, is the Rue Sci-
pion, leading to the Place Scipion. At the cornor (No. 13) is the Boulangerie
des Hôpitaux et Hospices (Pl. G, 22), founded in 1742 in a building of 1565
which belonged to Scipion Sardini, a Tuscan nobleman in attendance on
Catherine de Me'dieis. The group of Bakers opposite, in porcelain, is by
A. Charpentier and E. Millier. — Not far off, in the Rue du Fer-à-Moulin,
rises the Amphithéâtre d'Anatomie of Clamart (P1.G,22), on the site of the
old Hôtel de Clamart, the garden of which was turned into a cemetery,
where the remains of Mirabeau were placed after their removal from the
Panteon under the Convention. Opposite is the Halle aux Cuirs or
leather-market.
