The article focuses on humanitarian medical aid to Spanish republican refugees in France from 1939 to 1950. Topics discussed include practice of quarantines and sanitary cords follows the logic of the social distancing that is established in order to stop the spread of communicable, endemic or epidemic diseases; epidemiological dimension of the republican exile triggered by the Spanish Civil War and problems in refugees of concentration camps such as malnutrition and parasites. It also mentions problems of a nature political, military and economic, but also the fear of a proliferation of epidemics that could endanger the security of the State.

This article analyzes the ideas of Juan Huarte on the most appropriate "mind" for medicine, in particular the supposed opposition between the rational capacities producing the theory and practice of this art, as well as the particular disposition of Jewish people for medical practice. It also examines Huarte's relationship with medical activity in light of his accounts and other sources that tell us of his medical training in Alcalà and his later professional practice.
