Venetian physician Jacopo Pallarini, who practised variolation in the city, wrote a book about it in 1715. Then British writer Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, who had been left severely disfigured by the disease, observed the practice.

在该城市实践种痘的威尼斯医生·帕拉里尼于1715年写了一本书。随后，英国作家玛丽·沃特利·蒙塔古夫人观察了这一做法，她这种疾病而严重毁容。

Variolation probably worked because it introduced  the variola in a part of the body the virus wasn't prepared for, disabling most of its nasty  tricks.

种痘可能有效是为它将天花病毒引入了病毒没有的身体部位，从而破坏了它大部分的恶劣手段。

Variolation usually involved rubbing crushed smallpox scabs into cuts on the hand, or blowing them in pellets into the nostrils.

种痘通常包括将碾碎的天花痂粉抹入手部的切口中，或将它们作为颗粒吹入鼻孔中。
