Krátky popis
Smallpox was the scourge of the eighteenth century: it showed no
mercy, almost wiping out whole societies. Young and old, poor and
royalty were equally at risk - unless they had survived a previous
attack. Daniel Sutton, a young surgeon from Suffolk, used this
knowledge to pioneer a simple and effective inoculation method to
counter the disease.His technique paved the way for Edward Jenner's
discovery of vaccination - but, while Jenner is revered, Sutton has
been vilified for not widely revealing his methods until later in
life. Gavin Weightman reclaims Sutton's importance, showing how the
clinician's practical and observational discoveries advanced
understanding of the nature of disease. Weightman explores Sutton's
personal and professional development, and the wider world of
eighteenth-century health in which he practised
inoculation.Sutton's brilliant and exacting mind had a significant
impact on medicine - the effects of which can still be seen today.
