Riassunto

Account Of An Improved Method Of Treating The Small Pox (1737) is a medical book written by Charles Deering. It describes a new and improved method for treating smallpox, a highly contagious and often deadly disease that was prevalent in the 18th century. Deering's method involved using a milder form of the disease, known as cowpox, to inoculate patients and stimulate their immune systems to fight off smallpox. This technique, known as variolation, was a significant breakthrough in the treatment of smallpox and helped to reduce the mortality rate of the disease. The book provides detailed instructions on how to carry out the procedure and includes case studies of patients who were successfully treated using this method. It also discusses the history of smallpox and the various treatments that were used prior to the development of variolation. Overall, Account Of An Improved Method Of Treating The Small Pox is an important historical document that sheds light on the early days of immunology and the fight against infectious diseases.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
