First editions of these highly important papers (3 works in 7 parts), among which we find Lister's first work on the antiseptic principle in surgery. Lister believed that bacteria could enter wounds and cause suppuration and putrefaction and that it was necessary to kill the bacteria already in wounds and to apply dressings impregnated with some bactericidal substance. He finally hit on carbolic acid for this purpose. When this work was done it had not yet been proved that bacteria were the cause of disease. (Garrison & Morton No 5634). - Having realized the significance of Pasteur's work on fermentation, Lister evolved the idea of the antiseptic prevention of wound infection. This and the preceding papers represent two of the most epoch-making contributions to surgery. (Garrison & Morton, No 5635). Through a presentation of several case studies, Lister illustrates the variations called for in the treatment of specific wounds. - Hundred Books famous in Medicine (Grolier) No. 75 - Sparrow, Milestones of Science No. 138 - Printing and the Mind of Man 316 c - Norman: 1366 - Gedeon:54
