Thomas Dimsdale so mastered smallpox inoculation that a Russian empress summoned him to protect her court. Here he sets down his method: the right age and season, the preparation, the progress of the induced infection. A landmark record of preventive medicine before Jenner's vaccine. Learn how physicians fought smallpox by risking it on purpose.

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.
