Reviews

[Eric]

An early 18th-century attempt to understand a deadly disease

With what seems to me very good and thoughtful reasoning, in an effort pre-bacteria and virus to understand the causes based on effects.

[Kate]

They thought plague was spread by fruit tree insects, whose eggs were contaminated by air breathed out by sick people, then the hatched insects would fly around spreading the disease to people and livestock.

[Todd Howell]

An interesting look at the plague in 1665.

Calls for aromatics and smoking to help fight off the plague.

Pretty strange beliefs back then.

[Adrian]

Quick read on the a 17th Century doctors observations and remedies for the plague. Gives you food for thought on how far medical science has come over the past 4 centuries.
