Abstract
Jean-Baptiste Charcot, son of the famous neurologist from La Salpêtrière and father of neurology, began his career as a neurologist as his illustrious father had imposed on him. However, after his father's death in 1893, he turned to his first love, sailing. We have brought back a copy of Jean-Baptiste's thesis, sent to Professor Fulgence Raymond, who succeeded Jean-Martin Charcot. Jean-Baptiste realised that he could not have a brilliant career if he remained in his father's shadow.
