Georges Danjou
François Jules Georges Danjou (17 June 1862 – 12 May 1926) was a French physician, physiotherapist, military doctor, writer, and vegetarianism activist. He received the Legion of Honour and the Croix de Guerre 1914–1918 for his military medical service. He served as president of the French Vegetarian Society and proposed the creation of an International Vegetarian Federation, which led to the founding of the International Vegetarian Union.
François Jules Georges Danjou was born in Limoux, Aude, on 17 June 1862. His parents were Jean Danjou and Célina Merliac. He grew up in a small village described by Philippe Tissié as having a history of gold and iron working.
Danjou was educated at the College of Foix. He later studied at the University of Paris Faculty of Medicine. In 1887, he defended a medical thesis on deforming osteoarthropathies in congenital syphilis for his M.D. degree.
After completing his medical studies, Danjou joined the French military as a doctor. Early in his career, he served at the Val-de-Grâce military hospital. During this period, he became a member of the Decoeur Mission. According to Tissié, Danjou contracted a severe purulent ophthalmia while treating Bambara people, and his sight remained weakened after 18 months of treatment.
Danjou also served in the Second Franco-Dahomean War. He assembled an ethnographic collection of 341 Dahomey items, including weapons, clothing, votive pottery, jewellery, fetishes, and charms, and donated it to the Society of Anthropology of Paris in 1895.
For his service, Danjou was awarded the Legion of Honour and transferred to the reserve of the active army.
After leaving active military service, Danjou qualified as a sanitary physician and began working as a ship's doctor. He advocated maritime health reforms, but later resigned from the post.
Danjou then worked on physical education and physiotherapy. He travelled to Stockholm, Sweden, where he studied at the Royal Central Gymnastics Institute. After returning to France, he criticised practices in French physical and medical education.
