Joule had no real protession except as an amateur scientist, and no job except for some involvement in running the family breweiy. Since his father was ill and forced to retire in 1833, his son had to become more involved in the affairs of the brewery from 1833 to 1854, when the brewery was sold by his family. While Joule was working at the breweiy, he carried out his experiments before 9 00 A.M., when the factory opened, and after 6 00 P.M., when it closed. Because his father built a laboratoiy for him in his home, in 1854 he had the time and means to devote himself completely to physics research. Later in life, he suffered severe financial misfortune, but the Royal Society and Queen Victoria in 1878 each provided a 200 subsidy for Joule to continue his important researches. 

The cholera epidemic that reached Europe and North America in the early 1830s killed more than 20,000 people in England. It was during this epidemic that Queen Victoria s personal physician, Dr. John Snow, removed the handle from the polluted Broad Street pump in London in the first recorded, appropriate measure to prevent waterborne disease. 

This finding was predated by the three-volume report of the Indian Hemp Commission from 1898, when Queen Victoria s government concluded that the smoking of cannabis, or hemp, did not impair the work rates of farm labourers in the Indian subcontinent. However, it should be emphasised that these reports were concerned with old-fashioned natural cannabis, whose THC content was around 1-2% this was the type used by hippies in the 1960s. But, during the 1970s selective plant breeding and hydroponic plant cultures led to increased THC values of around...

The conservative Scottish textile manufacturers were slow to adapt to this new dye, and the leadership of innovation went to French textile manufacturers by default. When Empress Eugenie of France wore mauve in public, it impressed Queen Victoria to wear mauve at her daughter s wedding, so there was a wave of enthusiasm for synthetic dye. Perkin became very successful in commerce, and gave up business for chemistry research later in life. Fie was knighted in 1906, at the 50-year anniversary of his discovery, and died in 1907. Mauve had a short commercial life, as its early success led to further experimentations that produced many better dyes, particularly in Germany. This marked the beginning of the synthetic dye industry, which was the first modern chemical industry.

William Morton s demonstration in 1846 of ether-induced anesthesia during dental surgery ranks as one of the most important medical breakthroughs of all time. Before that date, all surgery had been carried out with the patient conscious. Use of chloroform as an anesthetic quickly followed Morton s work, made popular by Queen Victoria of England, who in 1853 gave birth to a child while anesthetized by chloroform.
