The drawings in this book (both the woodcuts and the plates) have been made by Mr. Edgar Thurston, to whom I am much indebted for the great pains which he has bestowed in their preparation. Mr. Groves also kindly took some photographs, from which certain of the woodcuts have been drawn. Dr. Heron has ren dered me great assistance in revising the proof-sheets and in preparing the Index.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of fermentation and its impact on the field of surgery. The author meticulously traces the historical development of scientific understanding about fermentation, starting with the early experiments of Lavoisier and Fabroni. He then examines the groundbreaking work of Caignard-Latour and Schwann, who proposed that fermentation is caused by microscopic organisms, a theory that challenged the prevailing view of oxygen being the primary driver. The author explores the debate between the "oxygen theory" and the "particulate theory," ultimately siding with the latter. He discusses the landmark experiments of Pasteur, Schroeder and Dusch, and Tyndall, which solidified the understanding that these tiny particles are responsible for fermentation and decay. The book culminates in a discussion of the authorââ â¢s own research, which further confirms the particulate theory of fermentation. This comprehensive exploration of fermentation, its causes, and its implications, provides a compelling and insightful look at the development of antiseptic surgery, a revolutionary practice that changed the course of medical history.
