Suppuration and Septic Diseases
Excerpt from Suppuration and Septic Diseases
The history of this subject from the early publications by Sir Joseph Lister down to the present time is one of very great interest, as being the history of the groundwork of the great revolution in Surgery of modern times, but it would take up more space than I have at my disposal. I may, however, indicate the three great landmarks in the develop ment of our knowledge. The first landmark of importance with regard to our present views on this matter is the first papers by Sir Joseph Lister on Antiseptic Surgery. At that time, and for some years afterwards, little or nothing was known as to the different species of micro-organisms and their different effects, and consequently they were only spoken of in general terms.
