Description: RHODA TRUAX has made Lister's discoveries and his fight to get them generally adopted the core of this biography. He was as much an explorer as any man who struggled across antarctic ice to the South Pole and his story is just as exciting as an explorer's. Author of the novel, This Dynasty of Doctors and other books and papers on medical subjects, Rhoda Truax writes with ease and clarity on his professional career, and she writes charmingly of the beautiful relation between him and his wife. Great in achievement, Lister in these pages appears great also in character. The author combines the technical knowledge of the student and the novelist's art of presentation. This book will both entertain the reader and make him grateful for Lister's work. The chasm which he bridged between the modern scrubbed, disinfected, rubber-gloved man-in-white and the old-time surgeon in his bloody frock coat, with dirty sutures in his buttonhole and smears on the lapels where he wiped his scalpel before making another cut—the chasm is so wide and the time so short that the change seems incredible. Joseph Lister is responsible for it. This special edition of JOSEPH LISTER by Rhoda Truax has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, The Bobbs-Merrill Company, New York.
