Bacteriologist Louis Pasteur, who kept kennels of mad dogs in a crowded little laboratory and was hounded by medical criticism, had never tried his rabies vaccine on a human being before. But moved by the tears of Mme Meister, he finally took the boy to the Hotel-Dieu, had him injected with material from the spinal cord of a rabbit that had died from rabies.
To his overwhelming joy, the boy recovered. As for Meister? He ended up working as a janitor at the Pasteur Institute. Meister never developed rabies, and the incident was regarded as a success. This commemorative tag pictures the attack on Joseph Meister, the first person on whom Pasteur successfully used rabies vaccine. The tag likely was produced for the centenary of Pasteur's birth.
Pasteur wrote this letter to Emile Roux requesting him to send vaccine to Joseph Lister. Translation: August 8, [? Outlook Newsletters Ent.

Since their earliest and most rudimentary introduction in the late 18th century, vaccines have fundamentally changed the way modern medicine is practiced and have eliminated or managed the incidence of some of the most devastating human diseases.
Humankind has benefited from vaccines for more than two centuries, but the path to discovering effective vaccines was long and difficult. The work required a number of brave research pioneers and clinicians. In this spirit of giving thanks this holiday season, we will explore the history of vaccines and the work of the 19 th century pioneer Louis Pasteur, who was the first scientist to create a vaccine in a laboratory setting.
Born in to humble beginnings in Dole, France, Louis Pasteur was a hard-working, serious child, who at a young age demonstrated a greater interest in the arts than the sciences. Few would have predicted that he would grow up to be one of the most important scientific figures of the 19 th century. During the course of his career, Pasteur made crucial discoveries in chemistry, biology, and medicine.
He was the first to discover molecular chirality and spontaneous resolution while studying crystallography. He studied fermentation, demonstrating that it is a chemical process carried out by microscopic organisms. These findings gave him the information necessary to disprove the myth of spontaneous generation and to propose methods for preventing the growth of bacteria in food items.
His name quickly became a household word for food safety, e. Louis Pasteur in This finding led him to propose the germ theory, which simplistically states that many diseases are caused by microorganisms too small to see without magnification.
