Louis Pasteur (1922-1995) was a microbioligist who found a cure for Peurperal fever and discovered pasteurisation to prevent wine and milk from going off(souring)

He invented "pasteurization", which is the common method for destroying bacteria in milk and thus increasing the time it takes to go bad.

It is generally accepted that modern medical science came about in 1876 when Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch demonstrated (almost simultaneously and unknown to each other) the idea that contagion passes from one individual to another.

The discoveries made by these men, however, were ignored and even scornfully rejected by virtually the entire medical establishment of their day. Medical scientists and practising physicians fiercely defended the age-old Greek philosophy that microbial life could be generated de novo under certain conditions.

LIFE COMES ONLY FROM LIFE

Through careful experimentation, Pasteur and Koch were able to demonstrate irrefutably that even the simplest of living things did not arise spontaneously from non-living matter. More importantly, Koch proved that particular kinds of microbes were responsible for particular kinds of maladies.

While presenting his ingenious 'swan-neck flask' experiment, Pasteur spoke triumphantly:

'I have taken my drop of water from the immensity of creation, and I have taken it full of the elements appropriate to the development of microscopic organisms. And I wait, I watch, I question it! — begging it to recommence for me the beautiful spectacle of the first creation.

'But it is dumb, dumb since these experiments were begun several years ago; it is dumb because I have kept it sheltered from the only thing man does not know how to produce; from the germs which float in the air, from Life, for Life is a germ and a germ is Life. Never will the doctrine of spontaneous generation recover from the mortal blow of this simple experiment!'

EVOLUTION MYTH

Louis Pasteur, a deeply religious man, had demonstrated that life arose from life. His experiments dealt a devastating blow to the evolutionary myth that life arose from non-living matter — a belief still held by evolutionists today.

French chemist. Pasteurization

He also discovered the first vaccine against rabies. Pasteur produced the first vaccine for rabies by growing the virus in rabbits, and then weakening it by drying the affected nerve tissue.

Smallpox was eradicated by Edward Jenner and man called Jesty; a farmer.

He also was the first person to try a out a "vaccine" by injecting himself with the disease might have been smallpox cholera not rabies. By doing this he invented the process of immunisation from disease.
His main achievement however was inventing "pasturisation." Via watching milk going off. (See answer above) He realised bacteria was causing illnesses in people and set about cleaning up filthy hospitals which up to then were not helping people get better.
All the best.

He was a French man that invented the pastuerisation process of milk. This made it much safer to drink.
