Etienne-Jules Marey: the medical innovation
On December 17th, 1912, at the Académie de Médecine, Charles François-Franck pronounced the following words in praise of Marey: "Marey (Etienne-Jules), born in Beaune (Côte d’Or) on March 5th, 1830, died in Paris on May 15th, 1904, after a fifty-year-long scientific career.
