April 5, 1827: Lord Joseph Lister, English surgeon & medical scientist was born. He was founder of antiseptic medicine & pioneer in preventive medicine. Influenced by Louis Pasteur's germ theory, Lister resolved to keep such organisms away from wounds. He introduced use of carbolic acid (phenol) as a disinfectant used on bandages, ligatures, utensils, as well as for direct use on wounds & washing surgeon's hands. Modern medical practice continues to follow Lister's principle that wounds must be kept free of bacteria, though sterilization has replaced most antiseptic use. Question: Have you ever wondered where the name, Listerine came from?
