Few diseases terrified the world like smallpox, and few were conquered so completely. Fox's treatise sets out its symptoms and course, how to recognize it, how it was treated, and the vaccination that would ultimately end it. A concise clinical portrait of a great killer. Read the medicine that stood between humanity and a scourge now gone.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
