ABSTRACT

Jules Guiart was born in Château-Thierry in 1870. He took over from Louis Lortet at the chair of Parasitology and Natural History in Lyons while Jules Courmont took over at the chair of Medicine and Bacteriology in 1906. Guiart taught History of Medicine in Lyons and in Romania. He succeeded Lacassagne as chairman of the Academy of Lyons in 1926. Nowadays he looks like a symbolical link between the Society and the historians of medicine.
