| Abstract (English): |
Dr. Manuel P. Colmenares was one of several Mexican physicians whose work in the final thirty years of the 19th century contributed significantly, though quietly, to the construction of scientific medicine in Mexico. That period was the heyday of clinical medicine in the country, during which the field adopted a hegemonic model that was not adverse to progress or to admitting new medical knowledge being generated around the world. This study introduces a virtually unknown Mexican physician whose interests, in keeping with the style of 19th-century medical science, were diverse. The essay focuses on his work in neurology, ophthalmology and public health, but also presents information on his life and family, some members of which were active participants in significant political events in their home state of Oaxaca.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
El doctor Manuel P. Colmenares fue uno de los múltiples médicos mexicanos, cuya labor callada participó en la construcción de la medicina científica mexicana en el último tercio del siglo XIX. Entonces fue el gran momento de la clínica, la medicina nacional ya seguía el modelo hegemónico y no le eran ajenos el progreso y los novedosos conocimientos que se producían en el resto del mundo. Esta investigación descubre a un médico mexicano, casi desconocido, protagonista de esa época. Al estilo de la ciencia médica decimonónica, sus intereses eran diversos, aquí se aborda su inclinación por la neurología, oftalmología y salud pública. Además, se describen datos relevantes de su vida y su familia, de la que algunos miembros fueron partícipes activos en los sucesos políticos de Oaxaca, su estado natal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
