Excerpt from Transactions of the Annual Meeting of the American Laryngological Association: Held in the City of Brooklyn, N. Y., May 16, 17, and 18, 1898Our association was born at the daybreak of modern medicine. Though the part played by micro-organisms in disease was known in the laboratories to some extent several years before that time, the revelation of the new light to the profession at large was only just beginning to be made known through medical literature. Mainly as the result of the immortal work of Pasteur, Lister, and Koch, a new pathology has been made. The founds tion of a medical education today is normal histology and pathology, but at the time that this association was formed, such knowledge was not easily obtained, and but comparatively few sought it, as it was only begin ning to be required in the curricula of our best medical colleges. Since then the searchlights of biological and bacteriological research have revealed fields for study which are only now beginning to be fully cultivated, and in the twentieth century many of the truths which are being so ardently sought after will doubtless be dis closed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
