No it isn't ! taking an epsom salt bath will NOT cure smallpox, and neither will it alliviate the scabs, to a point where they will not scar. You bet I know about this. Epsom salt baths are an old family curative, with which I am intimately familiar with. I almost died from chickenpox, annd yes, I was in a tepid epsom salt bath ! Tepid, because I was running such a high fever, that a tepid sitz bath helped to bring it down a bit, and stop my heart from racaing so. The epsom salts helped reduce the itching. That was all well and good, but I also had the chickenpox inside my mouth, down my throat, and I'm not certain how much lower, but it was dreadful beyond belief.

Epsom salts, added to bath water, is also a diuretic, helps to reduce swelling in the ankles and feet , and is a FANTASTIC soil addative, when used to grow tomatoes.

Your posted link is useless IF smallpox is let loose in this country.

THE WAY TO TREAT SMALL-POX & PREVENTING DISFIGUREMENT

THE WAY TO TREAT SMALL-POX
Once the official panic-propaganda is stopped and the public has learned to cast out fear the rest will be easy, provided the great Vaccination business is done away with.(suppose the vaccinations arn't available)

No one fears the advent of a boil or a carbuncle, and, after all, Small-pox is but a type of carbuncle multiplied and spread over a larger area instead of being concentrated at one spot.

The purpose of boils, carbuncles and Small-pox is the same-ic to rid the system of impurity in the form of pus.

Of the orthodox treatment of Smallpox, the less said the better. Suffice it to add that the diet, the roughly extemporised hospitals and the treatment are all wrong, because of a general misunderstanding of the fundamentals the healing crisis.(obviously this is their opinion, not that I believe it myself)

The aim should be to assist Nature to perform her task, and to help the patient back to health and keep free from scars blemish.

DR. LINDLAHR’S WAY
Dr. Lindlahr has obtained some entirely successful results from partial fastings, using only diluted fruit juices. No solid foods are given, thus relieving the system of the burden of digestion and liberating more energy for the great eliminative effort.

An alternative method, which I have personally found very effective in septic cases, is to limit the dietary to potatoes, baked in their skins, casserole-cooked green vegetables, dry cold toast and butter, with water as the only drink.

My object in this dietary is to give those foods which, while in the digestive system, absorb and neutralize toxic poisons.

The result is that much of the septic virus to be eliminated finds its way into the digestive system and is neutralized, thus lessening the strain of the surface excretion and incidentally the severity of the skin eruption.

PREVENTING DISFIGUREMENT
In mild cases full Epsom salts baths should be used, as this salt, applied to the surface, abstracts toxic poisons.

Two pounds of the salts should be used in each bath, the temperature of which should be maintained at 104 degrees all the while the patient is in it, which should be for 30 minutes.

In severe cases where baths are undesirable, the whole skin should be amply lubricated.

A weak carbolic oil or, - better still, olive oil medicated with peppermint or hydrastis cannadensis, is effective for this purpose. The use of these oils soothes the skin, allays irritation and prevents pitting and disfigurement.

Take this as "When there is no doctor or vaccination." If / when something like this happens there will not be room in the hospitals, so someone better know something about home treatment.
