Description

Inoculation — deliberately giving a mild smallpox to prevent a fatal one — was the most contested medical practice of the eighteenth century: it worked, and it occasionally killed the patient it was meant to save. Francesc Salvà i Campillo (1751-1828), the Barcelona physician who would later experiment with electric telegraphy, sets out the case as a legal process, weighing the evidence for and against before a tribunal of reason. It is a document of the moment when medicine began to argue from statistics rather than from authority, twenty years before Jenner made the question obsolete. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1777 edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
