A timely study of early efforts to conquer smallpox offers a dramatic profile of two eighteenth-century health pioneers--Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and Dr. Zabdiel Boylston--who flouted the European medical conventions of their era to draw on African folk knowledge and Eastern traditions to protect their children, paving the way for the science of modern immunology. 25,000 first printing.
