His treatise on acupuncture is the first French book seriously relating clinical cases from hospital practice.
Cloquet made more than 90 observations with the help of Dantu de Vannes.
references: Garrison-Morton [6829 : "As adjunct chief surgeon at the Hôpital St. Louis, Cloquet had an ample number of patients at his disposal, and he was able to test acupuncture on upwards of 300 cases with mostly beneficial results. Cloquet did not publish his researches; it was left to Cloquet's student Dantu, who had assisted him in his acupuncture trials, to present the results of Cloquet's investigations to the public.].
