Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

Before the introduction of antisepsis and inoculation, people
commonly died due to unsanitary conditions in the home, or
following surgery or childbirth. Between them, the great scientists
Louis Pasteur (1822-1893) and Joseph Lister (1827-1912) extended
widely the practice of inoculation and revolutionized medical
practice. Pasteur's discovery that living organisms are the cause
of fermentation formed the basis of the modern germ theory.
Following Pasteur's researches, Lister proceeded to develop his
antiseptic surgical methods. These breakthroughs in medicine are to
be reckoned among the greatest discoveries of the nineteenth
century.
