Who discovered the medicine for smallpox?
Smallpox has no "cure" per se, and the infected person can only be provided some general treatment to help the body fight off the infection. It's akin to "having the flu" and it is the body that must win the battle to get clear of the bug. Hit the link to the Wikipedia article. Smallpox has been around for literally thousands of years. And it has killed hundreds of millions of people throughout history. There is however a vaccination to prevent smallpox which was discovered by Edward Jenner. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallpox_vaccine
How did edward Jenner change the scientific world as you know it?
He was very important because he made an invention called SMALLPOX VACCINE.>> He was quite important as he made the observations that led to the smallpox vaccine being created, however he could not explain how the vaccine worked. Louis Pasteur built on Edward Jenner's work to create more vaccinations.
What gave Edward Jenner the idea to cure people?
Edward Jenner saw how milkmaids didn't have smallpox because they had cowpox, and didn't die. So he gave a boy a dose of cowpox and he got ill, but didn't die and then he gave him a dose of small pox and he didn't die because he had had cow pox already. (phew!)
Why is edward Jenner's work important to the history of medicine?
I am not sure who in their right mind would entirely believe something so absurd when history shows that it was Edward Jenner who did the research and work. Though moving on past the bad spelling and poor grammer in that answer i believe that his work was important because it spear-headed vaccination and research of vaccinations in England.Before there was no actual proof and only rumours that cowpox could make humans immune to smallpox, though Edward Jenner proved it with his research and even several tests on different subjects (Details can be found in wikipedia i believe). This made other scientists and doctors in effect start their own research for vaccinations for other deadly diseases off the base of Jenner's own, he became the first "immuniser" using knowledge that recovering from a mild form of disease gives human beings protection.So overall, it would be said that his work was so important because it made us look differently at how we could cure and strengthen our bodies against these illnesses. Even with old ideas we could use them to find cures for the diseases of today, such as AIDS for instance which is a common problem.I hope this helped, as i too was looking into Edward Jenner and his work.~Barrbossa_it is to get you understand the germs of germology to kill you by killing edward Jenner or so ma great granauntmother said.

What happen in 1749?
On May 18th, 1749, Edward Jenner was born. He was an English Doctor Who discovered a cure for people with something called "smallpox". It's very rare, and he took pus from a cowpox pustule and insert it into the arm of a boy who had smallpox. Weird enough, it actually saved this boy from smallpox.
