In the spring of 1879, Pasteur - who was then 57 years - was studying chicken cholera. He had prepared cultures of the bacillus, but for some reason interrupted this work and the crops were left unattended in the lab all summer. In early autumn, however, he resumed his experiments. injected the bacillus to several chickens, but unexpectedly did not have a mild disease and then recovered. Pasteur concluded that the old crop had failed, and he obtained another crop of virulent bacilli taken from chickens affected by a new outbreak of cholera. Also bought a brand new batch of chickens and injected fresh culture to both new and old. I recently purchased chickens all died in due time, but, to his surprise, the old chickens, which had previously been injected with the culture to occur, all survived. An eyewitness described the scene that took place when Pasteur was aware of this curious fact. "He remained silent for a minute, then cried as if he had a vision: 'Do not you see that these animals have been vaccinated." (1)
Writing Pasteur found online in several versions, has little to do with that analyzed by Moretti in the book "The Great write" substantial containment of the widths of letters and letters of support for memory and observation Indeed, vertical impulse (intense inner dialogue), initiative (Angola A) and tenacity (angle B), strong layout control (Twisting) make his famous statement " Fortune favors a prepared mind " without 'is more applicable to him: it is true that provides powerful insights (Uneven methodically) but it is equally true that worked so tirelessly to create experimental situations which can confirm or deny his insights.
