A Short Discourse Concerning Pestilential Contagion, And The Methods To Be Used To Prevent It is a book written by Richard Mead in 1720. The book is a comprehensive study of the nature and causes of pestilential contagion, which was a major concern during the 18th century due to the frequent outbreaks of deadly diseases. Mead explores the various theories and beliefs surrounding the spread of contagion, including miasma theory and the idea of contagion through contact. He also discusses the various methods that can be used to prevent the spread of contagion, including quarantine, isolation, and hygiene practices. The book is considered a seminal work in the history of medicine and public health, and it played a significant role in shaping the development of public health policies during the 18th and 19th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
