Lord Lister
نویسنده
چکیده
i hp; medical man who wishes to gain a clear idea of the broad foundations upon which modern medicine and surgery are based should read two great books which are almost twin classics; Rene Vallery Radot's Life of Pasteur" (English translation by Mrs. Devonshire), and Sir Rickman Godlee's "Lord Lister," the re-appearance of which in a third edition we cordially welcome. Both are finely written studies of immortal subjects, and deal with that splendid period of medical history when the work of the great pioneers was clearing the ground of the jungle of empiricism and tradition, and erecting the pillars of rationalism and experimental enquiry of the present-day " temple of medicine."
