Description

Perez de Escobar wrote for people who would never see a doctor: what to do when contagion reached the village, how to ventilate, what to burn, whom to isolate, which remedies to trust and which to leave alone. He is writing a generation before Jenner and a century before germ theory, so his explanations are wrong and a fair number of his measures are right — quarantine, air, cleanliness — because they had been learned by three centuries of epidemics. The book is therefore two things: a practical handbook of eighteenth-century domestic medicine, and a record of what careful observation could achieve without any correct theory at all.
