This address does not profess to give a complete account of the antiseptic system, but was based upon some illustrations which happened to be at my disposal. One of these, an experiment in support of the germ-theory of putrefaction, was dwelt upon at considerable length, in accordance with what I believe to be the great practical importance of the subject to which it refers.
