Print on Demand. This book takes a revealing look at the significant advancements in medicine made during the 19th century. It begins by highlighting the success of Jenner's work on the smallpox vaccine and its monumental impact on public health. The author continues by exploring the foundational work of Laennec in auscultatory diagnosis, which revolutionized the understanding and treatment of thoracic diseases, and Bright's pivotal contributions to the understanding of kidney disease and dropsy. The text then moves on to discuss the remarkable achievements of the mid-century regarding anesthesia and antiseptic surgery, crediting these advances with the dramatic rise in successful surgical outcomes. The book recognizes the contributions of Pasteur and others in the field of bacteriology, which led to the identification and understanding of disease-causing microorganisms and the development of vaccines and treatments. Ultimately, the book illuminates the profound influence these discoveries had on the practice of medicine and the immeasurable improvement in human health and longevity they have brought about.

Excerpt from Addresses on Several Occasions

And as it is with the affairs of nations, so also in the comparatively restricted fields of labor in which classes of men are severally engaged, they are instinctively led, if thoughtful at all, at such epochs as the close or the begin ning of a century, to sum up what has been gained and to forecast what may be expected and hoped for.

It may be safely said that throughout the whole duration of medicine as a science studied or as an art practised among men, no period can be compared as to the number and the importance of its achievements with the century the close of which we are celebrating. Whether by small and gradual gains or by great and sudden accessions of knowledge, the medical science of to-day is so vastly in advance of what it was when this Faculty was founded that the difference is to be measured not by years only, but by a complete revolution both in our modes of dealing with disease and in our very conceptions, in many cases.
