Description:Mahatma is the true story of Waldemar Haffkine (1860-1930), a Russian-Jewish microbiologist who invented early vaccines against cholera and plague. He was a vivid example of the brave first generation of modern bacteriologists, a medical expert willing to put his body on the line for his work, testing his vaccines' effectiveness first on himself. Renowned English surgeon Sir Joseph Lister called him "the great savior of mankind," but his name is mostly unknown today.From the time he was a young man, Waldemar had wanted to change the world for the better. He began by participating actively in an underground terrorist organization in Odessa but quit his homeland soon after, eventually finding his way to the Institute Pasteur in Paris. There he made the most important discovery of his life and was appointed State Bacteriologist of the British Crown in India.After two years of hard work, Haffkine succeeded at reducing mortality in epidemic-affected areas as much as three quarters. In the autumn of 1896, the plague came to Bombay. As a matter of urgency, the State Epidemiologist relocated from Calcutta to this largest Indian port. In the Old Town, in the governor's residence, leftover from Portuguese rule, Haffkine developed a plague vaccine within three months and tested it on himself on January 10, 1897.The Haffkine anti-plague vaccine began its journey in Bombay and spread worldwide. Over the next 100 years, more than 400 million vaccines were produced and distributed all over the world.Waldemar Haffkine never did find personal happiness, but he did save millions of lives with his miracleworking Havkin's lymph.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
