Alexander Taylor (physician)

He attended to the wounded in both sides during the Franco-Prussian War, and wrote a book which promoted the healthful climate of Pau.

In 1842 he published On the Curative Influence of the Climate of Pau, and the Mineral Waters of the Pyrenees, on Disease.

The climate was said to combat "Winter Depression" and respiratory disease and was first aimed at English-speaking countries, then translated into several European languages.

On Christmas Day 1878 a stained glass window was erected by him to the memory of his wife in the Protestant Church on Rue Serviez in Pau.
