Smallpox

This disease disappeared after the vaccine was introduced in 1800 by Sébastien Scheidecker.
The procedure to be followed if no vaccine is available and when the disease is full-blown:
- bathing the legs in lukewarm water twice a day,
- one or two enemas a day with lukewarm water to reduce headaches, nausea and vomiting,
- have the patient drink often in small quantities: barley tea, refreshing herbal tea, milk mixed with elderberry or linden tea,
- eliminate meat, eggs and wine from the diet,
- have the patient drink whey or buttermilk,
- when bumps appear on the face, purge the patient and repeat six days later.
“If the fever is high and the disease serious, the professionals that God has given us should be consulted.â€
