Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the trial of Daniel Sutton, an 18th-century pioneer of groundbreaking variolation techniques, better known as inoculation. Variolation was an early medical practice that involved introducing a live virus into a healthy person to induce a milder form of a disease in the hopes of immunizing them against more severe future infections. Sutton's methods stirred controversy among members of the medical community who accused him of practicing witchcraft and preserving the lives of his patients through secret remedies and unorthodox practices. The trial record included here sheds light on the historical debate surrounding variolation, providing insights into the nature and motivations of early innovators in the field of medicine and their struggles against fierce resistance to new ideas within the scientific community.
