Excerpt from Researches on Micro-Organisms: Including an Account of Recent Experiments on the Destruction of Microbes in Certain Infectious Diseases Phthisis, Etc
As a knowledge of bacteriology is of so much importance in therapeutics, pathology, chemistry, and other sciences, I hope the present work may be of some utility to those interested in the study of microbes.
The work gives an account of some of the most important investigations in connection with pathogenic and non-pathogenic microbes.
It does not profess to be a treatise on, or a manual of, bacteriology, but an expose of recent researches in various branches of the subject - especially where such researches throw light on the pathology, therapeutics, etc., of infectious diseases.
Although this work, in a great measure, has a bearing on the treatment of certain infectious diseases, I may say that I have had no desire to trespass in the domain of the physician. In the words of Pasteur, 'I am neither physician nor surgeon,' yet the scientist (generally having more leisure for scientific investigations than either the physician or the surgeon) can be of great assistance to the medical profession.
