This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Henry Gradle was born on 17 August 1855, in Friedberg, a suburb of Frankfurt-am-Main in Iiesse-Nassau, the son of Bernard and Rose Schottenfels Groedel.
His father emigrated to America in 1859 and established himself in the tobacco business in Chicago. The son remained in Germany with his mother who removed to Darmstadt where he was educated in the academy. His mother died in 1866.
In 1868, Gradle completed his preliminary education. Entering the medical department of Northwestern University, he was graduated in 1874, at the age of nineteen. After an interneship in Mercy Hospital he spent three years in postgraduate study in Heidelberg, Vienna, Paris, Berlin, and Leipzig.
Gradle was chiefly interested in physiology and in diseases of the eye, ear, nose, and throat. From Koch he received an introduction to the budding science of bacteriology, and upon his return to Chicago he was subjected to much ridicule for his advocacy of the bacterial origin of diseases.
In 1883, Gradle published Bacteria and the Germ Theory of Disease, the first book in the English language dealing with this subject, and the first American medical work to be translated into the Japanese language.
Establishing himself in general practise, he began a teaching career at Northwestern University which lasted nearly thirty years.
He was professor of physiology from 1879 to 1883, professor of general etiology, clinical ophthalmology and otology from 1893 to 1896, and professor of ophthalmology and otology from 1896 to 1906.
In the meantime, he had given up general practise and had become one of the busiest men in his specialty in Chicago, having built up a clientele devoted to him on account of his personality, his interest in his cases, and his exceptional operative skill.
Throughout his career Gradle was a profound student of periodic medical literature, not only in English, but in French and German.
He was a member and one-time president of the Chicago Ophthalmo-logical Society and a member of the Heidelberger Ophthalmological Society.
His death, caused by a recurrent cancer of the bladder, occurred in Santa Barbara, California. He left his library to the John Crerar Library of Chicago, together with a fund for the purchase of journals relating to his specialty.
A popular speaker, and an intellectually curious scientist, Henry Gradle contributed to the understanding and spreading of the new subject of bacteriology and to the teaching and clinical practice of ophthalmology and otology. He contributed many articles on ophthalmic and related subjects to American and German medical periodicals and in addition to his early book on bacteriology wrote a text-book on Diseases of the Nose, Pharynx and Ear (1902).

Gradle’s practical interest in bacteriology is shown by his skillful and widely recognized techniques. He suggested to Edward L. Holmes, founder of the Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary in Chicago, that he use whiskey bottles lying on their sides as containers for experimental work with bacteria. In his 1883 book Gradle advised using gelatin in culturing the tuberculosis bacillus. A frequently told story has the famous surgeon and pathologist Christian Fenger ordering a young colleague who was having trouble with his bacteriological techniques to “go see Gradle. ”
As an outgrowth of his interest in hygiene and public health Gradle recommended the boiling of water in Chicago to prevent the spread of disease and argued against the city pouring out its sewage into Lake Michigan, the source of its water supply.
Quotations: “In the light of the germ-theory, disease is a struggle for existence between the parts of the organism and some parasite invading it. ”
Gradle had a remarkably retentive memory for literary citations and a gift for extemporaneous speech in the most correct English.
Gradle was a unique personality who was five-feet one-inch tall, stockily built with a large head and an untamed red moustache.
Gradle had married, on August 31, 1881, Fanny Searls, by whom he had two sons.
