Thoughts On General And Partial Inoculations (1776)

By Thomas Dimsdale

Book Overview

""Thoughts on General and Partial Inoculations"" is a book written by Thomas Dimsdale in 1776. The book is a detailed exploration of the practice of inoculation, which was a method of protecting against smallpox by deliberately infecting a person with a milder form of the disease. Dimsdale discusses the benefits and risks of inoculation, and provides advice on how to carry out the procedure safely and effectively. He also considers the various objections that had been raised against inoculation, and argues that the benefits of the practice far outweigh any potential dangers. The book is an important historical document, as it provides insight into the early days of vaccination and the debates that surrounded this revolutionary medical practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
