The Cowpox Vaccine
An Country Adjective physician has come forth with a proposed treatment for the ravaging smallpox disease which has decimated our population for centuries. By exposing a person to a similar illness, in this case the cowpox disease which is prevalent amongst our cattle population, they seem to gain some immunity.
His work could lay the foundation for further preventative measures and he has even coined the term 'vaccination', from the Latin word vacca, meaning cow, to describe the process of using cowpox to protect against smallpox.

25477historical_info = flavor_eng.248.historical_info The cowpox vaccine was introduced by Edward Jenner who had observed that milkmaids who contracted cowpox seemed to gain immunity to smallpox. He conducted an experiment to test his hypothesis by taking material from a cowpox sore on a milkmaid and scratching it into the arm of a young boy. Following infection, the boy was exposed to smallpox but did not contract the disease.
