General Topology, chapter II, § 3. Complete spaces

Let XX be a uniform space, i(X)i(X) its associated Hausdorff space, and let ff be a mapping of XX onto a Hausdorff uniform space X′X', such that the uniformity of XX is the inverse image under ff of the uniformity of X′X'. Then the mapping g:i(X)→X′g : i(X) \to X' such that f=g∘if = g \circ i is an isomorphism.

By Proposition 16, gg is uniformly continuous; also gg is obviously surjective, and is also injective because the relation f(x)=f(y)f(x) = f(y) implies by definition that (x,y)(x, y) belongs to all the entourages of XX, and therefore that i(x)=i(y)i(x) = i(y) (no. 7, Proposition 12). Finally, the entourages of X′X' are the images under f×ff \times f of the entourages of XX (§2§ 2, no. 4, Remark), hence they are also the images under g×gg \times g of the entourages of i(X)i(X) (no. 7, Proposition 12); hence the result.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
