Abstract
PROF. PIERRE MARIE, the celebrated French neurologist, whose death took place recently, was born on September 9, 1853, in Paris, where he received his medical education and qualified in 1883 with a thesis on the incomplete forms of Graves' disease, which afterwards became a classic. After serving as Charcot's chief assistant at La Salpetriere he was elected physician in 1885 to the Bicetre Infirmary, where he set up a rich collection of interesting records of cases, specimens and photographs of various diseases of the nervous system and attracted a large number of practitioners and students, many of whom have become distinguished neurologists. In 1907 he was elected professor of morbid anatomy in the Paris faculty of medicine in succession to Victor Cornil.
