{"product_id":"proceso-de-la-inoculacion","title":"Proceso de la inoculacion","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.","brand":"EDITIONS RECREASOFT","offers":[{"title":"Perfect Bound","offer_id":67484025258288,"sku":"9782387811745","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk\/products\/proceso-de-la-inoculacion","provider":"The Great British Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
