Joseph E. Artigues, M.D., whose office is at 651 Broadway street, San Francisco, 
was born in this city in 1863, the son of Louis Artigues, who was one of the 
early settlers of San Francisco, where he was for many years a merchant and 
manufacturer.  Joseph received his education in Toulouse, France, where he 
attended the public schools, and later the Lycee, where he graduated in 1880.  
He returned to California in 1881, where he devoted some time to learning the 
English language, and also took a course at Heald�s Business College, and was 
also engaged for two years in business pursuits.  In 1885 he commenced the study 
of medicine at Cooper Medical College, graduating at that institution in 1887, 
after a full three-years course, and receiving his degree as Doctor of Medicine. 
 Dr. Artigues was then appointed house physician to the French Hospital, where 
he remained for two years, and has since that time been engaged in private 
practice.
