erobes. Following his own researches
Lister attended clinics given by Symen
the foremost physician Of the day.
In 1860, Lister was appointed profess
sor of surgery at the University Of
Glasgow. 1t was while acting as sur
geon to the royal infantry that he made
the discovery which initiated the new
era in surgery. Before that time all
most all wounds, accidental and sur
gicaI alike, underwent a process Of in-.-
fammatlon and suppuration, accom-
panied by much pain and loss Of health
The most trivial operations were not
Infrequently followed by death. Many
patients died rather than face the hor-
rors Of an operation. EryslpelaA to-
tanus and hospital gangrene were al
most constantly present in hospital
wards.
There was no knowledge OF the
causes Of these diseases. They were
considered to be constitutional. Th@
physician took no blame or RESPONSE
bility. Death was simply the victims
misfortune.
Such an appalling state Of anatrW
acted on Lister and he decided to
solve the trouble, If possible. At about
this time Pasteur demonstrated the
fact OF the existence Of the germ and
that putrefaction and decomposition
were caused by certain micro-organ-
lsms that came from without. Lister
applied this knowledge to the cause OF
wound diseases
The great deductions which Lister
made were ~ that ''putrefaction' in
wounds was caused by microbes, (2l
that these were introduced from tho
outside, (3) that 'putrefaction" might
be prevented by keeping the wound
free from germs, az that this might
be effected by the employment Of some
substance which would destroy the
microbe. The antlseptic system was
founded on these principles. Starting
then, with the idea Of destroying, By
an antiseptic substance, the germs En
the wound, in everything coming I'm
contact with the wound, such as IN
struments and in its surroundings,
Lister made his original tests with car
bollc acid-a fortunate selection, for il
is still regarded as one Of our best
germicides
He gave his method a thorough trial.
It proved successful. Now cases OF
gangrene and the like rarely follow
operations. Thousands Of lives have
been saved by this one discovery. Il
has revolutionized surgery.

CLIFF HOUSE BURNED
WAS One OF AMERICAS FAM
Gus RESORTS NEAR FRISCO.
The House Has Stood for Years as
One of the Monuments to the Late
AdOIph sutrO, Once Mayor Of San
Francisco-Loss viii Amount to
$5o,ooo-over Half Insured.

San Francisco, Sept. S.-The ia
nous Cliff House of this city. San
FTancisco's first attraction for tourists
was burned to the ground Saturday
evening. Fire broke out in the build
ing about 4:45 o'clock, and an hour
later blackened heap of ruins was all
that remained of the historic struc-
ture. The house was built of wood.
and famed by the lively ocean breezes,
the flames made such Roadway be-
fore the nearest fire company arrived
that 1t was realized that the place was
doomed, and more attention was paid
to saving adjoining property than to
the burning building.
The Cliff House had been closed for
some time, as the new lessee. John
TAFT, was remodeling the interior.
Workmen were about the place until
noon, and then departed for the day.
How the fire started is a mystey.
This was the second Cliff House to
be destroyed by fire. The building
which was burned today was erected
by Adolph Sutro, of Sutro tunnel fame,
80 years ago. 1t was owned by the
Sutro estate and was valued at $4,000
TAFT estimates his loss at $4,000, on
which there is $4,000 insurance.
The Cliff House was ranked as one
of the best known resorts of America
Located on a rocky promontary beyond
the Golden Gate, directly above the
lashing waves of the Pacific ocean, and
affording close view of the seals dis.
porting on the rocks near shore, it was
strong attraction for visitors, and
, from its broad porches hundreds OF
thousands of people obtained their first
view of the mighty waters. The mag
nificent Sutro baths near by we're not
damaged.
The house has stood for years as one
Of the monuments to the late Adolpf
l. Sutro, once mayor of San Francisco
popular more because of his enterprise
in providing pleasure for San Fran
ciscans and pretty scenes for the visit
/ ing tourist than for any other reason
L The visitor to San Francisco who fail
y ed to see the Cliff House, it was Away
: regarded, had seen but little of tn
y beauties of the city by the Golden Gate
: This resort with the bathhOuse AM
: museum and other architectural adorn
. ments of Sutro Heights, ranked as tn
L first attraction of San Fancisco.
F" For years the only means Of reach
e ing Point Lobos, on which Sutro chos
u to make the premier beauty spot of tn
. western coast, drawing the attentio
le of visitors from every corner of tn
~ world, was by novel looking DUNN
engine which drew two small passel
ger coaches. The travel became
heavy finally that Sutro constructe
his own trolley line from the city, on
II of the first, if not the first, overhea
trolleys- ever put in operation in Sa
y Francisco.
* The Cliff House was the first vie
y of land that greeted the incoming shi
9e from the Orient, being visible for mile
III at sea.

Ansiseptie system.
1t has been aptly said that the HIS
tory Of surgery can be conveniently
divided into two periods, ebefore Lis.

impossible to overestimate what LORD
Listers work has done for suffering
humanity in the discovery of the anti
septic system treatment Of wounds ana
everything coming in contact with the
same. 1t has practically abolished the
horrors Of the hospital ward, where
before Its discovery there were con-
slant dangers of gangrene and other
diseases due to germs getting into

causing putrefactlon Of the injured
member.
Lord Joseph Lister was born IN EsA
sex, England, in 1927. His eightietIa
birthday was celebrated last week. His
father had taken keen interest in
science and done much in improving
the microscope. AS q young man, Lis
ter possessed two valuable assets, a.
first class microscope and an unbound
ed enthusiasm for scientific investiga-
ton. 1t was therefore natural that hes
should turn his attention to such
branches Of histology and physiology
as were within his reach. His first re-
searches were in the fiber of lnyolun-
tary muscles, the skin, the flow Of lac
teal fluid and kindred subjects Early
in his life he became interested i'm
wounds and the diseases that frequent
" go with them. He even sketched
bodies that he thought might be mil
