Excerpt from The Historic Evolution of Variolation
For preventive purposes the voluntary transference Of a benign variola is surely recommended here, the vents however, may indicate system generally, in which case the disease is to be transmitted by simple exposure or we may take it more literally and an operation then suggests itself. The last three lines giving preference in very modern - sounding language to the avoidance of infection by contact, seems to me to lend strength'to the latter interpretation.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an illuminating historical account of the development of variolation - the precursor to vaccination - during the 18th century. Variolation, a process of inoculating people with smallpox to induce immunity to the disease, originated in ancient times but gained prominence through the pioneering work of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, who introduced it to England in 1721. The book explores the intellectual ferment and scientific debates surrounding variolation. The author traces the evolution of the technique from its crude beginnings to the refined methods developed by doctors and scientists such as Dimsdale and Sutton. It examines the challenges posed by opponents and skeptics, the influence of the Enlightenment, and the role of variolation in the broader fight against smallpox. The author argues that the development of variolation was a turning point in the history of medicine. It marked the transition from a passive acceptance of smallpox to an active approach that sought to control the disease. Variolation laid the groundwork for the development of vaccination and contributed to the decline of smallpox as a major killer. This book is a valuable contribution to the history of medicine and public health. It offers a comprehensive and insightful account of the early efforts to prevent and control smallpox, providing a fascinating glimpse into the origins of modern vaccines and our ongoing fight against infectious diseases.
