In this way the disease has been prevented from spreading and today one seldom hears of it at all. This is mainly because of the great discovery ma
32、de by a village doctor, Edward Jenner, in about 1798 when he published his report of his new experiment called vaccination (from the word vacca meaning a cow). Jenner discovered that people who worked with cattle often suffered from a harmless disease which they caught from the cattle, but these peo
33、ple never seemed to get smallpox.
