The section on Lister's early years is a little confusing at times. Could it be made clearer? It speaks of his father, but at times it is hard to tell if his father or Lister himself is being spoken of. It mentions his mother and then the next sentence is "the couple" had their last child in 1855. I assume this is in regard to Lister Jr. and his wife, but it follows right after talking about his mother and just previous to that about his father and the microscope and all. Could this be edited and cleared up? Thanks! 172.58.123.28 (talk) 13:55, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Listerine

I removed reference to the Listerine mouthwash in the first paragraph, not because it's incorrect or shouldn't be mentioned, but because it appeared like it was an achievement for which he should be remember for. It's like leading an article on Einstein with a mention that the dog in "Back To The Future" was named after him, factually correct, but out of place trivia.

I think that the information about Listerine should be re-included into the article, if only to clear up misconceptions that Lister invented it himself. Leeuwenhoek 02:55, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural depictions of Joseph Lister, 1st Baron Lister

I've started an approach that may apply to Wikipedia's Core Biography articles: creating a branching list page based on in popular culture information. I started that last year while I raised Joan of Arc to featured article when I created Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc, which has become a featured list. Recently I also created Cultural depictions of Alexander the Great out of material that had been deleted from the biography article. Since cultural references sometimes get deleted without discussion, I'd like to suggest this approach as a model for the editors here. Regards, Durova 18:50, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Abandonment of phenol

May be worth adding something here: One of the first reports of adverse effects of chemicals on healthcare workers was the use of carbolic acid (phenol) sprays by Lister (Newsom, 2003), who stated “…as regards the spray, I feel ashamed that I should have even recommended it…”. He abandoned its use in 1889 after recognising the hazard.

Lister -- and the birthday of modern medicine (doing less harm than before) in 1865

"Lister disappears into germ theory's prehistory, and is merely 'the English disciple' of Pasteur, a role in which, it must be said, he cast himself. As a result, the nature of the first crucial meeting between science and medicine is scarcely explored and its character is systematically misunderstood. ... Lister's work is hopelessly underestimated if one takes at face value his own unduly modest suggestion that it followed straightforwardly from reading Pasteur. To make the leap that Lister made [and it may have been the biggest leap in medicine so far] you needed to be a microscopist (to have seen all the invisible creatures in the air), a bacteriologist (to understand that every operation was a bacteriological experiment), and a surgeon, accustomed to struggling with sepsis." (David Wootton, 2006: Bad Medicine -- Doctors doing harm since Hippocrates, pp. 229, 239) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.2.161.4 (talk) 19:03, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]


The article seems to say that Lister heard about new research, applied the techniques, which were successful -- scientific method. That quote seems to say Lister figured it all out. This isn't to diminish Lister's work, but like Fleming's discovery of penicillin, he stood on shoulders of giants. In that article, Lister is said to have cured a patient's infection with a mold-derived "Penicillium". I'd think that book would focus on toxic dangers of phenols. 68.149.10.39 (talk) 04:48, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

King Edward VII

The King had his operation to drain an appendix abscess on 24 June 1902, not August as here described. The King's appendix was not removed.

See Wikipedia articles for Sir Frederick Treeves who performed the operation.

The King's coronation, due to take place on 26 June, was postponed until 9 August.

Wine auction

Not worthy of comment in the main article, but perhaps of interest to a passing researcher, might be an auction, by Messrs. Christie, Manson & Woods, on 21 May 1912, “The Cellar of Wines of The Right Hon. Lord Lister, deceased, late of 12 Park Crescent, Portland Place, W.” Some of the Ports were bottled by Lister and Beck, seemingly unrelated. (My pictures 21339/40.)

Honours

I note he has KCVO among his postnominals but no reference in the detailed Awards section as to when he was awarded the Royal Victorian Order (founded 1896 so one is unsure if it was awarded by Queen Victoria or Edward VII). Did he become Sir thereby?Cloptonson (talk) 07:11, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Cloptonson: I couldn't tell you at the moment. I went through the section to copyedit it, but never checked yet whether it was applicable. A reader came in and sorted the list in the lede and that was already there, I think. The man was awarded quite an enormous number of awards and honours, more than probably anybody else in history. You could have one huge article on these awards alone. I read a bit about the fund that was created after his death, doctors sending money from outer Mongolia, Southern Africa, Australia, so it takes a bit of time to take it in. I'll check Godlee and come back to you in a couple of days. scope_creepTalk 13:17, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Understand. I only called this out because it is a high British honour in the gift of the sovereign, so would be sourceable in the London Gazette and contemporary biographical reference books like Who's Who. It just looked a major inconsistency to me.Cloptonson (talk) 13:26, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yip. I can't find in the 20odd documents have on him with an Adobe document search on Royal Victorian Order ore on KCVO. I'll do a better search later. I notice from other surgeons who were Serjeant-Surgeons to the queen, e.g. [2] that one of them was KCVO. Were they awarded it, for being Surgeon to Queen I wonder? scope_creepTalk 14:11, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Cloptonson: The KCVO has been taken out. I think it is accurate to say that he wasn't awarded it. User:Mandsford found a newspaper.com entry, from The Guardian an article, dated 12 February 1912, which doesn't mention the KCVO. I think being that close, in time, it would be entirely accurate. At the time it would be universal news, and the man was so famous, ultra-famous really. I suspect the other editor assumed the fact, as everybody else in that position, would have been awarded it. Certainly, it is possibly something to do with OM being prepared. I don't know if at the same time frame, it could be that. Thanks for posting that. scope_creepTalk 17:48, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Cloptonson: I have several biographies on Lister now. I checked everyone of them and none of them mention the KCVO, so it looks like you were right. scope_creepTalk 08:50, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Peerage title

@Scope creep: The issue of The London Gazette announcing Lister's peerage reads in part: "Baron Lister, of Lyme Regis, in the county of Dorset". This indicates that "Baron Lister" alone is the official title of his peerage – everything after the first comma is the territorial designation – so we should have "The Lord Lister" in the infobox; this is not just colloquial or daily usage. Additionally, since Lister was granted a hereditary peerage (despite not having any heirs to inherit it), we should have "1st Baron Lister" in the lead. This parallels exactly what the Wikipedia article on Lord Kelvin uses. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 17:14, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Current status

The article is on its way. Its take a lot of reading to understand what had been going on between 1865-1867, both to try and understand the papers, which are apparently quite difficult to understand on their own and in order to get the references sorted and read with papers that cover that period. Reading through a lot of very specific references had taken time. scope_creepTalk 09:11, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sterility experiment

"In 1871 Lister prepared an experiment to demonstrate to his students that the air carried organisms that could be killed by heating, he modified four flasks, by extending and drawing their necks into a narrow tube that was bent in at an acute angle. Using three of the flasks in an experiment with the fourth used as the control, he filled each with his own fresh urine. In the control flask the urine quickly became infected with a mould, while the other flasks remained clear and unclouded as the dust and organisms could pass the angular bend."

This is, at best, an unclear description of the experiment. One flask should have easy access (no neck) for air-borne organisms to access the flask, the long recurved neck is supposed to prevent them from contaminating the other flasks by gravity preventing access. Both types are, however, open to the air. 157.231.151.76 (talk) 08:40, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, its very raw text. I started looking at it, and started writing it, and then stopped, as I will still working in the 1860's.

@Scope creep: You broke a wiki link while manually reverting your bold experiment with unusual spelling (preventitive? really?). I fixed the link, and you reverted that. Could you explain what is this you are doing? Also you removed a wiki link allegedly "for moment until article is fixed". Could you explain how this is supposed to help fixing anything? Thanks. Retimuko (talk) 18:05, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Retimuko: How are you? What makes you think its unusual spelling. I did notice the Lister insitute is actually the Lister Institute of preventive medicine, but I think that is modern take. I suspect but I'm not sure, since I last left a message that it was preventative medicine up to some date in the 20th century, not "preventive", hence the reason for reverting. scope_creepTalk 18:10, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Retimuko: I think the watch phrase is that I'm not sure. scope_creepTalk 18:11, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Scope creep: You managed to avoid answering both questions. Question 1: You broke a link while manually reverting yourself, and then reverted my fix. Could you explain why? Question 2: You removed another wiki link "for moment until article is fixed". Could you explain how removing a link should help fixing anything? Thanks. Retimuko (talk) 18:18, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Originally I thought the name of the term was "Preventative medicine". That is the term that was used, I think its used, in the 19th century according to Godlee. When I originally created the link in the lede, I put in sentence that said for something like "Preventative medicine" in the lede, from Godlee. That was linked to Preventitive medicine, which was removed back to Preventive healthcare which is modern thing, which no longer fits the 19th context. The lede is junk anyway. So when I saw you changing it back to Preventive healthcare and linking it on its own, I thought that was wrong and I still do and reverted it. It doesn't fit the narrative. I changed the Lister Istitute links before realising its called preventive medicine. I never actually looked at the title. Removing the link, because the link is not suitable. scope_creepTalk 18:37, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Does that make sense? scope_creepTalk 18:40, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not quite. You tried to rename Lister Institute to "preventitive" (and you don't seem to see the mistake), then reverted yourself manually, breaking the link in the process by removing the last "e" in "medicine" (and you still don't seem to see the problem). I fixed that, and you reverted the fix. All this makes an impression of some sort of disruption on your part. Retimuko (talk) 19:37, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Scope creep: When are you going to put the link back that you removed "for moment until article is fixed"? It seems wrong not to link to an important concept for the context of the article. Retimuko (talk) 17:22, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Retimuko: I don't know. I want to work on Lister but I'm working at WP:NPP at the moment. Probably next week. Is it bothering. I will need to look at Godlee to see if it is the correct term. There is something there I don't know about and need to look at it, but not at the moment. If you want to change it, crack on but its likely going to change but it doesn't quite fit the period, but could be a grammer. I don't know. The lister instute bit is a spelling mistake. scope_creepTalk 17:29, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
