Book excerpt: Excerpt from Microbes and the Microbe Killer The first edition of this book, published in 1890, gave the world a new theory and established new principles. Its teachings were that there is only one disease - decay; that it is caused by fermentation; and that all fermentation is caused by microbes. It was sent forth as a messenger that the doors of Science had been opened, and the seed scattered has borne abundant fruit. The three or four so-called diseases then admitted by scientists to be caused by microbes have multiplied, until the number includes all diseases, and the author's theory has been permanently established. But a book written in the infancy of a new discovery is necessarily incomplete. Scarcely had the first edition appeared when the author began the preparation of the revised edition. Step by step he proved the correctness of his new principles, until they can be no longer doubted. Ceaselessly he toiled in his laboratory with the fermentation of disease, propagating the microbes which caused that fermentation, watching them grow in physicians' medicines or die in his own antiseptics, or photographing them with the object of making them visible to everybody. The results of those years of patient investigation are given in this revised edition. His photographs of the microbes which cause the fermentation of the various so-called diseases are reproduced with exactness, making a valuable contribution to medical science. In place of the cumbersome appendix, which treated of subjects then held as possibilities, but which are now generally admitted, are special chapters giving the results of the author's personal investigations. No attempt has been made to make the revised edition a literary effort. The author has a message to give to the world, to science, to humanity, and it is given in simple words and in the plainest manner possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Germ Life The rapid progress of discovery in the last few years has created a very general interest in bacteria. Few people who read could be found today who have not some little idea of these organisms and their relation to disease. It is, however, unfortunately a fact that it is only their relation to disease which has been impressed upon the public. The very word bacteria, or microbe, conveys to most people an idea of evil. The last few years have above all things emphasized the importance of these organisms in many relations entirely independent of disease, but this side of the subject has not yet attracted very general attention, nor does it yet appeal to the reader with any special force. It is the purpose of the following pages to give a brief outline of our knowledge of bacteria and their importance in the world, including not only their well-known agency in causing disease, but their even greater importance as agents in other natural phenomena. It is hoped that the result may be to show that these organisms are to be regarded not primarily in the light of enemies, but as friends, and thus to correct some of the very general but erroneous ideas concerning their relation to our life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Campaign Against Microbes The studies collected in this book have not been grouped together at random. They relate to different types of infectious disorders, and are fairly representative of the problems and methods of experimental medicine. The series might be entitled: TJie objects of laboratory research at the present day, for the prosecution of the anti-microbe campaign. The longest chapter is devoted to cancer, a subject which is still veiled in obscurity, though familiar to all students of vital phenomena, whether medical men, histologists, bacteriologists, chemists, or specialists in hygiene. If it be true that in science "the known loses its attraction, while the unknown is ever full of charm" (Claude Bernard), this is indeed the problem that must excite the keenest interest. Everything connected with it is mysterious - the nature of the disease, its origin, and its causes; we have scarcely begun to approach it by the experimental method. We are indeed at the starting point of the chase, and the prize is far away: imagine a study on tuberculosis written about 1875, or on rabies about 1880. Gropings such as these, such diversity of opinions and tendencies, such haphazard experiments represent science itself in travail. Tuberculosis is the typical chronic microbic disease, an attack of which renders the organism susceptible instead of vaccinating it. We are well acquainted with the natural history of the tubercle bacillus, as the result of the very large number of memoirs that have appeared subsequently to the discoveries of Robert Koch. The malady itself, however, has hitherto failed to yield to any of the methods of scientific therapeutics, vaccination, and serum-therapy, which have proved so successful in the case of other diseases.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Microbiology: A Treatise on Bacteria, Fungi and Protozoa Pathogenic for Domesticated Animals Until about 1850, the appearance of these organisms, animalcula as they were then called, in liquids such as meat broth was considered as a mere chance phenomenon. At the same time very appreciable changes were observed in the liquid in question, but no one supposed that there existed between the two orders of facts such a close relation as cause and effect.

This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Bacteria and Their Relations to Health and Disease The Bacteria are so often nowadays the subject of discussion and discourse; so much which is at once disquieting and untrue is said about them, and they are withal of such prae tical importance to the health and well-being of everybody, that it has seemed to the writer worth while to bring together in some simple fashion a little of our knowledge about them. The aim then of this book is to present some facts from a small corner of the domain of Science in such form as will be plain to the unscientific, and with these some extracts from the lore of the physician which will, it is hoped, be both interesting and useful to the lay reader.

Download or read book Pathogenic Micro Organisms Including Bacteria and Protozoa written by William Hallock Park and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pathogenic Micro-Organisms Including Bacteria and Protozoa: A Practical Manual for Students, Physicians and Health Officers The book in its later editions has come to be used in an ever increasing degree by medical students, so that while its point of View has remained the same, namely, to dwell especially on the relations of microorganisms to disease in man, it has been thought wise to touch on other aspects; thus, in this fourth edition a chapter has been added upon the bacteria concerned in agriculture and in some of the important fermentations. The bringing out of this new edition has enabled Dr. Williams and myself to rewrite a number of portions of the book with which we were not satisfied. We have also rearranged this material and added a number of tables which we believe will be helpful to the student. The chapters on the colon-typhoid group of bacilli and on malaria are examples. Such subjects as the relation of bovine tuberculosis to that in man, the value of antimeningococcic serum, the use of bacterial vaccines, the etiology of anterior poliomyelitis and trachoma, and the prevention and cure of trypanosomiasis have been rewritten in the light of the new information which has been acquired since the writing of the preceding edition. The revision of the different portions of the book has been divided between Dr. Williams and myself much as in the last edition. Dr. Williams has revised the portion of the book devoted to protozoa, while I have revised that on the pathogenic bacteria. We are greatly indebted to our associates in the laboratory for aid in many differ ent ways. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Role of Bacteria in Infectious Diseases No subject in medicine either in relation to its theory or practice holds at present in any considera ble degree an interest equal to that of the role of micro-organisms to disease. Although in a strict sense not new, it is only within a very recent period that systematic study and scientific research have in vested the theme with an interest by any means gen eral, or elevated it from the domain Of speculative philosophy and pseudo-science. Recent as have been the investigations, it is marvellous to find the flood of literature already contributed.
