Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Suppuration and Septic Diseases: Three Lectures Delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in February 1888

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.

Excerpt from Suppuration and Septic Diseases: Three Lectures Delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in February 1888

In reprinting these Lectures I have added a few notes where I thought that further facts might be of interest, but the Lectures themselves have not undergone any, or only a few verbal, alterations. In these Lectures my aim was not so much to detail original work - which is, I think, best given in special papers, in which the methods employed and the results obtained can be gone into in detail - as to summarise and give uniformity to the knowledge which has been gained by the work of many observers during the last few years. Of late years a certain antagonism has arisen between bacteriologists working in laboratories and clinical observers who do not possess a practical knowledge of bacteriology. The bacteriologist directing his attention mainly to the bacteria, has tended unduly to over-estimate the importance of these organisms; while the clinician, looking at the matter from the side of the body, has realised that an infective disease is a complex process, and has too often under-estimated the importance of the causal organisms.
