18th Century (cont)
Edward Jenner (1749-1823)
• Country doctor in England
• Developed a vaccination for smallpox in 1796
• How did he find this? …..next page

• Jenner observed that individuals who had caught the less serious cowpox generally did not catch smallpox.
• This led him to discover technique of vaccination when he deliberately infected a small boy with cowpox.
• He found that this gave the child immunity against deadly smallpox.

(comes from Latin vacca, a cow).
Word was later adopted by Pasteur for immunization against any

19th Century (cont)
9
• Period known as the “industrial revolution”
• Major progress in medical science occurred• due to development of machines• ready access to books
Rene Laënnec (1781-1826)
• French physician
• Invented stethoscope (1816)–Cylinder originally made from paper,
then made from hollow wooden tube
• Hailed as Father of Thoracic Medicine
10
Before stethoscope, doctors put ear directly to body.11

Evolution of Laennec’s stethoscope

• Often called the “Lady with the Lamp” after her habit of making rounds at night

• In recognition of her work Queen Victoria awarded Miss Nightingale the Royal Red Cross in 1883.
• She died at age 90.

19th Century (cont)

Major Developments•Infection Control
• Associated microscopic organisms with disease• Methods developed to stop the spread of organisms
•Women became active participants in medical care• Elizabeth Blackwell – 1st female physician in US• Dorothea Dix – appointed Superintendent of Female Nurses of the
Army • Clara Barton – founded the American Red Cross
11. Laennec’s first stethoscope was made of:
a. paperb. woodc. tree bark.

12. Before Laennec’s stethoscope, how did physicians listen to heart & lung sounds?
.19
James Blundell (1790-1877)• 1818- performed 1st successful human
blood transfusion –transfused blood from husband to his wife
by means of syringe
20
• Blundell performed 10 transfusions up to 1830 –about half were successful
• At this point, blood typing had not been developed & transfusions were risky.
• In 1870's, doctors began using milk from cows, goats & humans, as blood substitute
• This was replaced with saline solution in 1880's.
21
William Morton (1819-1868)
• developed anesthesia techniques that made surgery painless 22
MATCHING:13. Reformed hospitals;
pioneered nursing14. Successful blood
transfusions15. Developed anesthesia
techniques.

a. Morton
b. Nightingale
c. Blundell
23
Louis Pasteur (1822-1895)
• Father of Bacteriology• Discovered that microorganisms were
everywhere• Proved that microbes caused disease. 24
The process of boiling a liquid to destroy bacteria is still used today; most dairy products are pasteurized.
Discovered that heating of milk killed germs--hence the term “pasteurization”.
25
Pasteur also developed vaccines against anthrax & rabies.
Louis's pupil, Emile Roux, inoculating boy against rabies at Pasteur Institute 26
Sir Joseph Lister (1827-1912)
• Used asepsis in surgery• Discovered that carbolic
acid killed germs.
Carbolic acid sprayer
27
Lister Introduces Antisepsis
• For six weeks, Lister had treated a boy's compound fracture wound with carbolic acid.
• When Lister removed dressings from fracture, he found wound had healed without infection--something unheard of at that time! 28
Wilhelm Roentgen (1845-1923)
• German physicist• Discovered x-rays
in 1895• 1st X-ray was of his
wife’s hand
29
