An old man goes to the Wizard to ask him if he can remove a curse he has been living with for the last 40 years.
The Wizard says: "Maybe, but you will have to tell me the exact words that were used to put the curse on you.
The old man says without hesitation: "I now pronounce you man and wife."
Bernhard Lauritz Frederik BangDied 22 Jun 1932 at age 84 (born 7 Jun 1848).Danish veterinarian who in 1897 discovered Brucella abortus (Bang's bacillus), the causative agent of contagious abortion in cattle and of brucellosis (undulant fever) in human beings. Bang's teaching, with the introduction of antiseptics, represented a watershed in veterinary surgery. Although long recognized in human medicine, antiseptics had been met with little attention by veterinaries. Bang was instrumental in showing that tuberculosis could be transmitted by cow's milk and in developing isolation techniques. He was the first to use tuberculin, discovered by Robert Koch in 1890, on cattle. He used it diagnostically, rather than therapeutically, as a means for liberating livestock of tuberculosis and to create clean breeding centres. |
