This book is a biographical memoir of Theobald Smith, a renowned American bacteriologist who lived from 1859 to 1934. It is part of the National Academy of Sciences Biographical Memoirs series, and is the twelfth memoir in volume 17. The book is written by Hans Zinsser, a fellow bacteriologist who knew Smith personally. The memoir provides a detailed account of Smith's life and career, from his childhood in Albany, New York, to his education at Cornell University and subsequent work as a researcher at the Bureau of Animal Industry in Washington, D.C. Smith's groundbreaking research on infectious diseases, including his discovery of the cause of hog cholera and his work on the transmission of typhoid fever, is also discussed in depth. The book includes personal anecdotes and insights into Smith's personality and character, as well as his contributions to the field of bacteriology and his impact on public health. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of America's most influential scientists and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of medicine and science.Presented To The Academy At The Annual Meeting, 1936.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
