About this work

Description

"The funeral service was held in Westminster Abbey on February 16. The pall-bearers were Lord Rayleigh, Lord Rosebery, Lord Iveagh, Sir Archibald Geikie, Principal Sir Donald MacAlister, Sir Watson Cheyne, Mr. R. J. Godlee, and Professor F. M. Caird. Lord Lister earned undying fame as founder of aseptic surgery, which put an end to those causes of death after surgical operations often described collectively as 'hospitalism', the result of microbe-laden instruments and microbe-laden air."-- Illustrated London news, loc. cit.
