The Modern Medical Idea ' Sickness Prevention Back in 1796, when he developed the vaccine treatment to combat smallpox, Kdward Jenner helped to tart the trend of medical thought in the new direction of Sicineu Prevention. Today anti-toxins, serums, vaccines and sanitation all these check disease before it can cain hold. Jiut constipa tion still remains one of the most devastating; of all plagues, because by reducing the body's power of resistance it males it an easy tictini of eety and any disorder.
