Marsh, H: Septic Arthritis -

Résumé :
Excerpt from Septic Arthritis: The Bradshaw Lecture Delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons, of England on December 10

Before I pass to the Lecture itself there is a circumstance to which, Mr. President, I think you would wish me to allude.

On December 9, 1852, just fifty years ago yesterday, a certain candidate passed his examina tion and became a Fellow of the College. He hailed from Essex, and his name was Joseph Lister.

What that name has since become, not only in the annals of English surgery, but among the greatest benefactors of the human race, we all remember with admiration and gratitude. The poet alludes in trenchant phrase to those who shut the gates of mercy on mankind. Lord Lister has done more than any living man to throw them open. No matter in what century the roll of fame is called, the name of Lister can never henceforth be omitted from it.
