I know we've had this discussion before...

The following is a long message quoting material (from the Materia 
Medica, I believe) that was published in 1916...

The salient point is in the last paragraph:

> Notice no where is there the word antibiotic. This wasn't mentioned
> once in the entire book.  It wasn't in their repertoire' nor in
> science.  The things that they knew might hinder infections and
> speed healing in these cases were called antiseptics and astringents.

Another message from Susan, gives a number of definitions for words 
that do apply to CS, but again suggests that the precise term 
"antibiotic" has a specific *meaning* in the scientific/medical 
context, and is not well-applied to CS...

I'm not saying her comments are authoritative, but suggestive. I would
still like to know the definition of "antibiotic" in the
legal/medical/scientific sense... 

Be well,

Mike D.
