Man Bao stood at the door and looked at it, then said: "He is developing acne very quickly now, if he promotes acne again, will he be too aggressive?"
Imperial Physician Lu frowned and thought for a while, "Then he will probably have a fever all night tonight. When I gave him the needle just now, he felt scorching hot. He probably won't be able to survive it. Let's prescribe a comprehensive prescription to reduce the fever a little."
Man Bao nodded, "Don't press the acne."
"I know."
So the two of them deliberated to come up with a prescription, which was not difficult to discuss. They prepared several useful prescriptions when they were in Xiazhou, and now they just add or subtract some medicinal materials according to the actual situation of the patient, or the amount Just some changes.
The two wrote out the prescription, and Man Bao took the medicine to the medicine shelf next to him to grab the medicine. These were the medicinal materials they had allocated from the imperial hospital, and they were all useful.
Packed in a box with the name of the medicine written on it.
Man Bao weighed out a pack of medicine, handed it to the servant and said, "Go and boil the medicine."
No. 3 recovered very quickly, but the sores on her body began to scab in two days, and the scabs would fall off in less than two days.
Man Bao looked thoughtful and said, "How about using his acne scab for the next experiment?"
Xiao Yuanzheng and Imperial Physician Lu couldn't help but look over, and then looked at the drowsy patients on the two beds next to him, sighed and nodded, "He's recovering well, let's see how toxic the acne is from the condition of his acne. It shouldn't be very big."
The situation of the other two people is not very good. It's strange. It's obviously the same scab, and the portion is also similar. How come the situation of the three people is so different
Man Bao frowned and said, "Because of age?"
This is the only reason why Yuanzheng Xiao and Imperial Physician Lu only looked at the young No. 3, and then No. 2 and No. 1.
Imperial Physician Lu said: "Judging from the situation in Xiazhou, the mortality rate of the elderly after suffering from smallpox is indeed higher, followed by adults, and children and teenagers are the least."
Man Bao also nodded.
Xiao Yuan was thinking, "In the future, you have to get vaccinated as soon as possible. I don't know how great the success rate is. It would be great if they were all like No. 3."
Man Bao said: "There are very few prisoners who are so young, right?" So where can I find test subjects
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "It is only found in the family members of the implicated officials. You have to go to Dali Temple to find it. However, vaccination is very dangerous. Most of the implicated prisoner's family members are exiled and imprisoned in the imperial court. I am afraid they will not willing to risk his life.”
Man Bao nodded slightly, let's look at the situation again, if his acne scabs are less toxic, then the next vaccination will not be very dangerous, and then we can discuss with Dali Temple to let them perform crimes and meritorious deeds. "
Some people think that life is more important, and naturally there are also people who want to take a chance and seek wealth and wealth.
Neither Xiao Yuanzheng nor Imperial Physician Lu expressed any objection, but it is too early to mention this, and the top priority now is to save the lives of the two people in the hospital bed, otherwise the three of them will die of smallpox, and the death rate is even higher than that of Xiazhou. high.
The three tried their best to treat her. Acupuncture and medicinal juice were given in turn. The condition of No. 2 gradually stabilized.
All three breathed a sigh of relief, and then most of their attention turned to No. 1.
But he didn't know whether it was because he was older or his health was worse than the other two. The high fever didn't go away, and the smallpox couldn't come out completely, but within two days he became confused.
Man Bao and the others didn't seem to be able to do it, so they had to prescribe medicine to cool him down, but now he couldn't cool down at all, and even if he suppressed it, he would rebound badly afterwards.
Moreover, if smallpox cannot be released, it will inevitably cause other diseases. They have seen too many such cases in the past four months.
At noon on the third day, after feeling the pulse, Imperial Physician Lu glanced at No. 1 who was lying on the bed with a pale face, shook his head, and went out, "It's useless, it can't be saved."
Man Bao went in to have a look, and couldn't help giving him another set of needles, but the person was still gone at night.
It was not the first time for everyone to see a dead person, and they just sighed regretfully, and then the record should be recorded.
Man Bao took a look at the fresh sores on his body, and couldn't help turning his head to look at No. 3 and No. 2 who had completely healed.
The two of them were startled when they met his gaze, and Qiqi took a step back.
Man Bao put down the notebook in his hand, and said to Doctor Lu Zheng of Xiao Yuan, "We haven't tried whether the people who have been vaccinated can really stop being infected with smallpox."
Grand Physician Lu: "It is true that those who have had acne will not have acne again. Isn't this a well-known thing?"
Xiao Yuan understood Zhou Man's meaning, "But their situation is a bit different, especially No. 3, he didn't even have five days to recover from the acne."
Moreover, there were very few acnes on his body, and basically he didn't suffer much. To be honest, Xiao Yuanzheng felt a little trembling in his heart. If the acnes were useless, would smallpox still be transmitted to him
Man Bao said: "There is a way, use the fresh pimple paste on his body to try."
Xiao Yuan was looking at No. 1 who had just closed his eyes on the bed... the smallpox on his body was still red, and he thought about it.
After a while, the three imperial physicians stepped forward with a piece of cotton cloth in their hands, pierced two fresh smallpox on his body, stained with the slurry, and walked towards No. 3.
No. 3 shivered, thinking that they were going to stuff it up his nose again. Who knew that Man Bao took his hand, rolled up his sleeve, and pricked his arm with a thick needle. It bled, and then they took it Wiping the wound with the cotton cloth.
Man Bao said: "Whether it works or not, we will know in two days."
Teacher Mo was overjoyed when he found out about this, and said, "The reason why you want to be vaccinated against smallpox is to weaken the toxicity of smallpox, so that you can get immunity to smallpox without risk?"
He said: "According to the No. 3 pulse case you gave, his condition is not even good. The best smallpox vaccine I know will not cause any discomfort except for a slight pain during the injection. A successful person will leave a trace of a pox on his body, which is considered to be immune to smallpox."
Man Bao was yearning for it, and asked, "Is this the cowpox method written in the book?"
Teacher Mo said with a smile: "According to the records, vaccinia is much safer than human pox. Unfortunately, I have searched for a long time and haven't found a detailed production method. However, I asked some colleagues, and they all think that vaccinia should also be cultivated through several generations. , at least it must be the second generation, so that the toxicity will be weakened a lot.”
Man Bao asked: "It's also the same as the water vaccine method for human pox. Is the pox scab ground into powder to make the pox vaccine?"
Teacher Mo shook his head, "I guess it is to use pox paste, so the effect will be faster. If it is true that cowpox is so much safer than human pox as described in the book, then the smallpox virus that has been domesticated for several generations will not be very toxic. At this time, the vaccination should be directly vaccinated, but unfortunately there is no injection in your place, maybe you can directly pierce your arm like you did today and then use the vaccinia to contaminate the wound?"
Man Bao pondered: "Since I can't explain clearly, I can only try one by one."
Teacher Mo also thinks so, science is all about trial and error.
