  Joseph Louis Proust - LoveToKnow 1911
JOSEPH LOUIS PROUST (1754-1826), French chemist, was born on the 26th of September 1754 at Angers, where his father was an apothecary.
Proust, on the other hand, maintained that compounds always contain definite quantities of their constituent elements, and that in cases where two or more elements unite to form more than one compound, the proportions in which they are present vary per sallum, not gradually.
Proust also investigated the varieties of sugar that occur in sweet vegetable juices, distinguishing three kinds, and he showed that the sugar in grapes, of which he announced the existence to his classes at Madrid in 1799, is identical with that obtained from honey by the Russian chemist J. Lowitz (1757-1804).

Proust's law was not immediately accepted by all chemists; in particular, his proposal led to a long and famous controversy with Claude-Louis Berthollet who argued that elements could combine in a whole range of different proportions.
The strength of Proust's law was seen a few years later when John Dalton published his atomic theory.

Proust obtained sugar from grapes and did other research on foods, I thought it particularly interesting since there was information in my messages that discussed the chemical break down of foods in the body, illnesses that could occur if the body was affected by negative emotions and attitudes.
Proust was part of the source giving me this information, then it would be safe to say that he was still interested in chemistry and trying to pass on ideas for new research.

John Dalton, an English chemist, might be called "the father of the modern atomic theory." During the early 1800's, Dalton's interests in Meteorology and gases lead him to read the works of Antoine Lavoisier and Joseph Proust.
Lavoisier had stated the law of conservation of mass, that the mass of materials before a chemical reaction takes place is exactly equal to the mass of the materials after the reaction is completed.
Proust had observed the law of definite proportions, stating that the proportion by mass of the elements in a given compound is always the same.

Between 1798 and 1808, Joseph Louis Proust analyzed different sources of several compounds.
Finally, he found that the mineral known as cinnabar always contained 6.25 times as much mercury as sulfur.
These results led Proust to propose the law of constant composition, which states that the ratio by mass of the elements in a chemical compound is always the same, regardless of the source of the compound.
