On August 12th 1827 Joseph Lister, surgeon and scientist, performed his first antiseptic surgery.
Lister was born in West Ham, Essex and the majority of his education happened in the English Counties, but he moved to Glasgow in 1860 and became a Professor of Surgery.
It was at Glasgow Infirmary he did all his work on antiseptics, he read Louis Pasteur's work on micro-organisms and decided to experiment with using one of Pasteur's proposed techniques, that of exposing the wound to chemicals. He chose dressings soaked with carbolic acid to cover the wound and the rate of infection was vastly reduced. Lister then experimented with hand-washing, sterilising instruments and spraying carbolic in the theatre while operating, in order to limit infection. Carbolic acid, now called phenol, became the first widely used antiseptic in surgery and his principles were adopted throughout many countries by a number of surgeons. Lister is now known as the ‘father of antiseptic surgery’.
In 1869 Lister left Glasgow to become Professor of Clinical Surgery at the University of Edinburgh. Eight years later he was appointed Professor of Surgery at King's College, London.
The pics are of Lister and a plaque commemorating him at Alexandra Parade, Glasgow.

The most effective Eco-Friendly hand sanitizer is one that you will really use! We've all purchased items only to discover that they aren't precisely what we were searching for, and they wind up gathering dust until they must be tossed.
Choose the environment-friendly hand sanitizer that works best for you to avoid waste. Liquid sprays, gels (flip top/pump dispenser), and foams are all options.
Choose an option that is simple to use, fits your lifestyle, and gives you a good feeling in your hands.
Ingredients
Most natural hand sanitizers contain the following ingredients:
Alcohol:- Most natural hand sanitizers have alcohol as the principal active ingredient, which kills germs and bacteria. The alcohol concentration must be at least 60% in order to be effective.
Essential Oils:- Choose products that are fragranced with essential oils rather than synthetic perfumes and phthalates. Antibacterial, antiviral, relaxing, and cooling characteristics are among the many benefits of essential oils. These improvements make it more effective while also being kinder on your hands.
Skin Conditioners:- Alcohol is hard on your skin, especially if you use it frequently. Skin conditioners can help. Natural oils (excluding Palm Oil), vegetable-based glycerin, aloe-vera extracts, vitamin E, peppermint, and lavender are some of the substances to look for in hand sanitizers.
Certified Organic Ingredients:- Ingredients that are certified organic were grown without the use of chemicals and are generally better for the environment than their non-organic equivalents.

The work of Louis Pasteur (1822-95) and Joseph Lister (1827-1912) finally proved the existence of bacteria and from the late 1800s practitioners started to use antiseptics, which reduced infection.

Toothache Relief
There are a few different ways to relieve toothache pain. Some people find that over-the-counter painkillers, such as ibuprofen or paracetamol, help to relieve the pain. Others find that holding ice against the cheek near the affected tooth helps to reduce the pain. Another suggestion is to use a saltwater rinse to help soothe the area. There are a few things you can do to relieve toothache pain. Rinsing your mouth with warm water can help to clean the area and reduce inflammation. Taking ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help to reduce pain and swelling. You can also use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek to help relieve pain. If the toothache is very severe, you may need to see a dentist.
