"A Practical Treatise on Smallpox" by George Henry Fox is a book from the early 1900s that gives doctors important information about smallpox, a serious disease that spreads quickly. The book explains how to spot the disease by describing the different ways it looks as it gets worse, like the start of the rash. It also talks about the best ways to help people who have it and how to stop it from spreading in the first place, especially by using vaccines.
