Excerpt from Professional Aspirations: Valedictory Address to the Graduating Class of Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia, Delivered April 15, 1891A few years the mortality ranged from twenty-six to sixty-eight per cent, antiseptic surgery has reduced the mortality to less than one-half of one per cent. Antiseptic surgery permits the brain to be laid bare and its diseased parts to be excised. Antiseptic surgery Opens the ab domen with impunity. Antiseptic surgery saves easily hundreds of lives where formerly one was with difficulty rescued. How Paré would have delighted in all this! In the great triumphs brought about by Lister's work he would have seen his own aspirations for an almost perfect surgery fulfilled.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
