Excerpt from Suppuration and Septic Diseases: Three Lectures Delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in February 1888
In reprinting these Lectures I have added a few notes where I thought that further facts might be of interest, but the Lectures themselves have not undergone any, or only a few verbal, alterations. In these Lectures my aim was not so much to detail original work - which is, I think, best given in special papers, in which the methods employed and the results obtained can be gone into in detail - as to summarise and give uniformity to the knowledge which has been gained by the work of many observers during the last few years. Of late years a certain antagonism has arisen between bacteriologists working in laboratories and clinical observers who do not possess a practical knowledge of bacteriology. The bacteriologist directing his attention mainly to the bacteria, has tended unduly to over-estimate the importance of these organisms; while the clinician, looking at the matter from the side of the body, has realised that an infective disease is a complex process, and has too often under-estimated the importance of the causal organisms.
