Decided Progress Made In
Field Of Medicine And Surgery

Before 1846 when anasthesia was
discovered, an operation was a horrible
ordeal for patients, surgeons and wit-
nesses. Astonishing as it may seem.
in the 80’s and even in the 90’s there
were in most hospitals no trained nur-
ses. The use of the medical thermom-
eter was practically unknown until
well into the 60’s, previous to which
the doctors judged a fever by placing
the hand in the neck or arm and cs-
timating the temperature as ‘‘slight,’’
“considerable’’ or high.’? In 1895
diphtheria antitoxin was discovered,
singe which time tracheotomy for diph-
theria has bep yirtually unknown. In
the early days surgeons who removed
Ovarisn tumors were perseaujed and
even ealled murderers because two out
of thres patients died. Wheras every
successful caso was a rescued life.
Nowadays, thanks to McDowell, Pas:
teur, the Atlees, Lister and many
others, the mortality is less than one
in a hundred. And there are maty
other pimilar improvements.
