Few forces in history have been more feared than smallpox. This "speckled monster" ravaged human populations in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, and the spread of the disease was a major factor in the conquering of the New World. In 1796, an English country doctor named Edward Jenner noticed that milkmaids rarely contracted smllpox. His curiosity led to a seemingly miraculous invention-the world’s first vaccine. Black-and-white illustrations. Bibliography. Web sites.
