Edward Jenner is best known for his pioneering work in the development of the smallpox vaccine in the late 18th century. He conducted experiments by inoculating individuals with material taken from cowpox lesions, observing that those exposed developed immunity to smallpox. Jenner's research demonstrated that vaccination could provide protection against Infectious Diseases, laying the groundwork for immunology and the eventual eradication of smallpox. His work significantly advanced the understanding of disease prevention and the concept of vaccination.

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
