Z. Holwell is a scientific publication written in the 18th century. It delves into the practices of smallpox inoculation as conducted by the Bramins in India, offering valuable insights into methods that were employed long before the widespread adoption of inoculation in Europe. The book serves as a detailed account of a medical procedure that had a significant impact on public health. In this account, Holwell outlines the systematic approach the Bramins take in inoculating patients against smallpox, including their strict preparatory regimen and the techniques used during the procedure. He describes the seasonal nature of smallpox outbreaks in Bengal and the specific rituals surrounding inoculation, such as the use of variolous matter from prior year pustules. Holwell discusses the importance of dietary restrictions and the subsequent care of the inoculated individuals, including cold water baths and the opening of pustules to ensure a benign course of the disease. Overall, the work emphasizes the effectiveness of these Eastern practices, indicating that they could significantly reduce mortality from smallpox.
