In the 1700s, smallpox was primarily treated through a method called variolation, which involved the deliberate introduction of smallpox material, such as scabs or pus, into a healthy person's body to induce a mild form of the disease. This practice aimed to build immunity against the more severe forms of smallpox. While variolation could reduce the severity of the disease, it also carried risks, including the possibility of causing full-blown smallpox. The development of vaccination by Edward Jenner in 1796 marked a significant advancement in the prevention of smallpox, leading to a safer and more effective method of immunity.
