Ah, another advocate of the "Red Treatment"...which is fine therapy if nothing else is available. Still, the chances of living through smallpox were VERY slight. Queen Elizabeth I lived through it, but was horribly pock-marked.

And she was more than likely innoculated against smallpox..

From VACCINATION IS OF VERY ANCIENT ORIGIN

"In 1722, Dr. Wright, a surgeon of Wales refers to inoculation against smallpox in the British Isles as ‘a very ancient custom.’ (Jenner didn’t begin his vaccinations until 1796). One William Allen, then 99 years old, said inoculation had been known and used during his entire lifetime, and he well remembered his mother stating that it had been commonly done all her life, and that she got smallpox that way.

As long as you haven't had the "vaccine"...
