PROBLEM 2. HoiD We Can Conquer Some Diseases 



would you answer? Can you find any other arguments used by antivac- 

 cinationists? 



6. {a) Considering the work done by both men why do you suppose 

 that Pasteur has become so famous while Koch is little known to many 

 people? {b) Note the dates of Jenner's and Pasteur's immunizations. Why 

 is Jenner given so much less credit than Pasteur? 



7. How is tetanus antitoxin prepared? List all the steps that must be 

 taken if the antitoxin is to be safe for use. 



8. {a) In what ways are Lister's and Pasteur's ideas applied in the home 

 today? {b) List the steps you would take to prevent infection in a wound. 

 Give a reason for each step. (^) A friend of yours has just returned from 

 the hospital after an appendicitis operation. List as many scientists, past 

 and present, as you can who contributed to his safe recovery. Explain.

 used 



(e) Advantage of each over 

 the other type 



(f) Disadvantage of each

Further Activities in Biology 



1. Make a report to the class on early theories of disease. 



2. Report on the life and work of Robert Koch, Pasteur, Lister, and 

 Jenner. Have your class secretary write to the Metropolitan Life In- 

 surance Company, New York City, for biographies of scientists. 



3. Report to your class on Edward Livingston Trudeau and his treat- 

 ment for tuberculosis. 



4. Visit a hospital laboratory to find out what hospitals do in the 

 fight against disease. 



5. Report on the antivaccination movement in the United States. If 

 possible, quote arguments used by antivaccinationists to see whether they 

 have s^ood scientific reasons for their statements. 



6. Prepare a book of clippings describing recent discoveries in the field 

 of infectious disease. 



7. Consult the Readers' Guide in the library for references to recent 

 articles on sulfa drugs, penicillin, and other antibiotics.
