"A Time to Heal"

The Diffusion of Listerism in Victorian Britain

By: Jerry L. Gaw

In the 19th century, Joseph Lister related the germ theory of fermentation to the cause of putrefaction in wounds. Listerism was adopted because its success was greater and more consistent than other methods of healing the sick.

This study records how with much pain and trial and error the prevention of nosocomial infections was achieved in the 19th century.

These diaries and letters have been little explored by modern biographers of George. Gaw's deep analysis presents an entirely different perspective on David Lloyd George and explains, in part, how he came to the decisions now enshrined in the annals of political history"--
