By the way, I just remember a chance encounter when I did visit Paris in the late 70ties, shopping at Petitot - ordering Hourtoulle plates and a nice gentleman at my side helped me to pronounce the French numbers, and who was surprised that quite a few were not at hand. Then I found out that it was Dr. Hourtoulle himself, then of course I was just a conscript in the Bundeswehr and not yet in medicine.
