Louis Pasteur

            Everytime we open up the refrigerator and take out a.
             gallon of milk, we should remember the great French.
             scientist Louis Pasteur. Other than that he also.
             worked with chemistry,crystallography, bacteriology,.
             spontaneous generation, and his many vaccinations in.
             medicine for anthrax, rabies and chicken cholera.
             Louis Pasteur was born on December 27, 1822, in.
             a small town of Dole, France. His family moved to.
             Arbois where Louis recieved his early education. .
             Pasteur was so but showed a talent for art. He decided.
             to complete a Bachelor of Science degree at the Royal.
             College in Besancon in 1842. Then went to Ecole.
             Normale to study science and received a Master of.
             Science degree in 1845. In these years and many more.
             ahead is where Pasteur came up with some of his.
             greatest inventions.
             After his many years as a student this time he.
             would be a teacher. He became a professor of.
             chemistry at Strasbourg and then at the Lille Faculty.
             of Sciences where he was also the dean in 1854. Three.
             years later he returned to Ecole Normale as a director.
             of scientific studies, and retained the position until.
             1867, when he became a professor of chemistry at.
             Sorbonne. In 1868 Louis had a brain stroke which left.
             him partioally paralyzed. .
             Despite his poor health and teaching he continued.
             his studies and discovered many new things. One of.
             them being finding out the structure of crystals.
             discovering there were two types of tartate crystals,.
             one being a mirror image of the other. He then tried to.
             find a reason for milk wine and beer to get sour or.
             spoil. He solved this problem and was famous for it.
             France save so much money as wine being its largest.
             export they could pay off its Franco-Prussian War.
             debt. Pasteur also proved that many diseases are.
             caused by germs that multiply in the body. Louis also.
             proved that if microbes are weakened in a laboratory.
             and then placed in a animal's body the animal.
             becomes immune to that microbe. He proved the.
             importance of this method when he vaccinated a sheep.
