Thoughts On General And Partial Inoculations (1776) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Thoughts On General And Partial Inoculations is a book written by Thomas Dimsdale in 1776. The book discusses the practice of inoculation, a method of preventing smallpox by intentionally infecting a person with a milder form of the disease. Dimsdale provides his thoughts on both general inoculation, which involves infecting an entire population, and partial inoculation, which involves only inoculating those who are at high risk of contracting the disease. He also discusses the benefits and risks of inoculation, as well as the history of the practice. The book was written during a time when smallpox was a major public health concern, and Dimsdale's insights into the practice of inoculation were highly influential in shaping public opinion on the subject. Today, the book is considered a valuable historical document that provides insight into the development of medical practices in the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
