A Treatise upon the Small-Pox

From Wikisource
A Treatise upon the Small-Pox (1723)
by Richard Blackmore

A medical work upon small-pox, published late in the life of its author, Sir Richard Blackmore. In its second part, it argues against the process of small-pox inoculation (i. e., vaccination), which had been introduced formally into the United States two years prior, making it one of the earliest works of scientific literature in the history of anti-vaccination movements.
