INTRODUCTION:
Major changes were made in architecture, while scientists were slowly beginning to create different cures for infectious diseases. Rival styles were created and architects were well known as artists. With discovering new medical advances, science was like a trip into the future. Sculpting and carving was well used for the beautification process, which revolutionized the eighteen-hundreds. The growth of microbiology and biochemistry had been linked to ways of finding new methods of killing deadly bacteria.
