	Sir Joseph Lister
		Joseph Lister was born to Joseph Jackson Lister and Isabella Harris on April 5, 1827 in Upton, England.
		Joseph's father, Joseph Jackson Lister was also a well-known scientist known for his invention of the achromatic microscope in 1830, allowing for rapid progress in the studies of cells, bacteria and disease.
		Joseph Lister was aware of this, and he studied the works of other prominent scientists to learn that the infections were not caused by a chemical reaction, or an oxidation, that occurred when oxygen touched the wound, but by tiny organisms from the air.

	Joseph Lister Lister - LoveToKnow 1911
		JOSEPH LISTER LISTER, 1st Baron (1827-), English surgeon, was born at Upton, in Essex, on the 5th of April 1827.
		His father, Joseph Jackson Lister, F.R.S., was eminent in science, especially in optical science, his chief claim to remembrance being that by certain improvements in lenses he raised the compound microscope from the position of a scientific toy, "distorting as much as it magnified," to its present place as a powerful engine of research.
		Lister hoped that if, by antiseptic means, the thread were deprived of living microbes, it would no longer cause suppuration, but might be left with short cut ends to become embedded permanently among the tissues of the wound, which thus would be allowed to heal by primary union throughout.

	Joseph Lister Biography
		Joseph Lister was born in Upton, Essex, England, on April 5, 1827, the fourth of Joseph Jackson Lister and Isabella Harris Lister's seven children.
		Lister knew at a young age that he wanted to be a surgeon, but his father made sure he completed his formal education first, just in case.
		Although Lister's antiseptic method was soon replaced by the use of asepsis (keeping the site of the operation and the instruments used free from germs), his work represented the first successful application of Pasteur's theory to surgery and marked the beginning of a new era.

	Joseph Lister
		Joseph Lister (April 5, 1827-February 10, 1912) was a prominent physician and medical pioneer who promoted the idea of sterile surgery while working at the Glasgow Infirmary.
		Carbolic acid (phenol) had been in use as a means of deodorising sewage, so Lister tested the results of spraying instruments, the surgical incisions, and dressings with a solution of carbolic acid.
		Continual exposure to phenol could be quite unpleasant, however, and as the germ theory of disease became more widely accepted, it was realised that infection could be better avoided by preventing bacteria from getting into wounds in the first place: the rise of sterile surgery.

		In public Lister's speeches were simple, clear and graceful, avoiding rhetorical display, earnest for the truth, jealous for his science and art, forgetful of himself.

		If the severest forms of contused and lacerated wounds heal thus kindly under the antiseptic treatment, it is obvious that its application to simple incised wounds must be merely a matter of detail.
		He brought to surgery the principle of antisepsis, an outgrowth of Pasteur’s theory that bacteria cause infection.
		In 1865, Lister proved the effectiveness of his methods, thus founding modern antiseptic surgery.—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition.
