who discovered anthrax vaccine?
541281
It is Louis Pasteur. In France in the late 1870s, anthrax was a severe disease that destroyed flocks of sheep. This  influenced Louis Pasteur to direct his attention to the study of anthrax. He had just developed a regimen for heat attenuation of the causative agent of chicken cholera, and he used a similar approach in his studies of virulent anthrax bacilli. Cultures of the organism grown at elevated temperatures were shown to be decreased in virulence.\nIn historic field trials at Pouilly-le-Fort in 1881, Pasteur showed that these heat-attenuated organisms were capable of producing immunity against later challenge with virulent strains of the bacillus in animals. Pasteur is therefore given credit for developing the first vaccine effective in the prevention of anthrax.

C. tetani was first discovered by Arthur Nicolaier in 1884 and isolated by Shibasabura Kitsato (Japan) in 1889. The first treatment was the tetanus antitoxin, developed in Germany by Emil von Behring, who received the first Nobel Prize for Medicine, and later at the New York City Health Department. The tetanus toxoid, which induces active immunity, was developed at the Pasteur Institute in 1923. Interestingly, the incidence of tetanus in New York City decreased dramatically between 1900 and 1930, not because of the use of the antitoxin but because of the decrease in the number of horses in the city following the introduction of the automobile. Persons receiving wounds were less likely to have them contaminated by horse droppings, a rich source of C. tetani spores. The conception that tetanus results from rusty nails probably originates from the close association of rusty nails, barns and horses, common before the early 20th century. In WWII, American forces only suffered 16 cases of tetanus and 6 deaths, thanks to routine tetanus toxoid immunization. The German army used only the antitoxin and suffered much higher losses due to tetanus. Use of the toxoid was restricted to the Luftwaffe, the German air force.

On 8 Nov, 1895, Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen (accidentally) discovered an image cast from his cathode ray generator, projected far beyond the possible range of the cathode rays. Roentgen named the new form of radiation X-radiation (X standing for "Unknown"). Hence the term X-rays (also referred as Roentgen rays, though this term is unusual outside of Germany).

Hi !!!\n\nThis is the site you are looking for: http://www.vaccinehaffkine.com\n\nAbout:\n"Dr. Waldemar Mordecai Haffkine, was born on 15th March, 1860 in Odessa, Russia. An illustrious disciple of Dr.Aleck Metchnikoff and Dr.Louis Pasteur, Dr Haffkine arrived in Calcutta in 1892 with a mission to tackle the problem of a Cholera epidemic. \n\n          He arranged for clinical trials of his vaccine and successfully helped to combat the dreadful disease from spreading further. When plague broke out in 1896, he was invited to set up a Plague Research Laboratory in Mumbai . It was later renamed as Haffkine Institute in 1925.With a view to expand the production activities and to meet the growing demands for medicines & life saving drugs, the Haffkine Institute was bifurcated by Government of Maharashtra in 1975 and the production activities were entrusted to HAFFKINE BIO-PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION LTD. , a fully owned Govt. of Maharashtra Company, registered under the Companies Act,1956."\n\n \n>>> Naveen Kumar

In WWI, there were not that many medical care. There was a vaccine developed by Louis Pasteur to combat anthrax infection, alcohol as disinfectant, and anti-mosquito sprays to slow the spread of influenza.\n\nMorphine (I think) was developed sometime in WWI but was not fully used.

Vaccination: Physician Edward Jenner performed the first innoculation against smallpox by infecting a boy with cowpox (vaccinia virus) in 1796.\n\nLight bulb: In 1879 in America Thomas Alva Edison, and in England Joseph Swan, each produce carbon-thread electric lamps that can burn for practical lengths of time (about 40 hours).

Inventor of Luminol\n\nIn 1895, two scientists named Wiedemann and Schmid, dissolved cathode-ray irriaded alkali halides such as NaCl, NaBr, KCl, and KBr, in water.  They noticed a very weak bluish light.  They also detected light production when irriaded calcium carbonate was “attacked” by aqueous hydrochloracetic acid, or phosphoric acid4.\n\nLater in 1928, a chemist by the name of Albrecht discovered a specific chemical, that when placed in an aqueous alkaline solution emitted a blue-green light with a fair amount of intensity.  Along with the light, virtually no heat was produced.  This solution contained hydrogen peroxide along with a catalyst.  The catalyst was an alkaline medium with a pH between ten and eleven.  This specific chemical was to later on be called luminol.

The widespread introduction of antiseptic surgical methods followed the publishing of the paper Antiseptic Principle of the Practice of Surgery in 1867 by Joseph Lister, inspired by Louis Pasteur's germ theory of putrefaction.

Alexander Fleming in 1928 invented Pencillin.  It was a chance discovery.  He was doing some experimenting with Staphylococcus bacteria. He accidently left his culture plate smeared with the bacteria over the weekend. when he came back he found the plate contaminated.  When he looked closely he noticed that the bacteria was destroyed where the plate was infected.  Later he found out the mold(which infected the plate) to be Pencillium Notatum.
