Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book by an eighteenth-century medical practitioner argues for the benefits of a practice called inoculation. The goal of the treatment was to counteract smallpox by introducing a weakened form of the virus directly into the body, which would cause a mild version of the disease. The author believed that this inoculation offered meaningful protection against the diseaseâs much more severe and risky natural occurrence. Inoculation had long been used in the East, particularly in Turkey and China, and was first popularized in Britain around 1720, causing widespread public debate. Several chapters are dedicated to responding to objections against inoculation, including arguments from those who considered it presumptuous to interfere with the will of God, those concerned about the potential introduction of other fatal diseases, and those who feared that inoculated patients could still spread the disease to others. The text also analyzes the most effective times of year and life stages for inoculation. Inoculation would eventually become common practice and is considered one of the most significant breakthroughs in medical history, with its principles informing the development of vaccines in centuries that followed. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780260228178_0
