The revolution in the surgical treatment of wounds had its inception with Sir Joseph Lister, whose marvellous genius and indefatigable industry surmounted all obstacles. His inspiration came from the studies of Pasteur and others, including our own Professor Jeffreys Wyman, upon fermentation and its dependence upon vital, rather than chemical causes. The results of his labors, for the benefit of his race, have never been exceeded by any devotee to the healing art, and his name must be indissolubly associated with the treatment of wounds, so long as surgery remains a branch of science. By rare good fortune I received his personal instruction at Edinburgh, in 1870. The demonstration seemed cdmplete that in an aseptic wound thus retained, repair goes on under the same favorable conditions as in subcutaneous wounds. The factors in the problem to be solved were, the best methods of preventing contamination in the wound when open, and retaining it uninfected during the process of repair. In all operative measures, the ligation of the larger arteries is often an important consideration. As done during the earlier part of Mr. Lister's investigations, it was so defective, that often about the ligature dangerous processes supervened. In the research for better material for ligatures, Mr. Lister experimented with the strings of the violin. Satisfied, that in carbolic acid, he had found a safe and comparatively non-irritating agent for the protection of the open wound, he made application of it for the better preparation of ligatures. Its effects upon the catgut when steeped in it appeared to change its constituency so as not only to render it...
