Title: Joseph Lister, English Surgeon
Caption: Photogravure of Joseph Lister (April 5,1827 - February 10, 1912) an English surgeon and a pioneer of antiseptic surgery. He found that carbolic acid solution swabbed on wounds remarkably reduced the incidence of gangrene. Lister tested the results of spraying instruments, the surgical incisions, and dressings with a solution of it. He instructed surgeons under his responsibility to wear clean gloves and wash their hands before and after operations with 5% carbolic acid solutions. As the germ theory of disease became more widely accepted, it was realized that infection could be better avoided by preventing bacteria from getting into wounds in the first place. Emery Walker, 1855 (cropped and cleaned).
