A Brief Rule to Guide the Common People of New-England How to Order Themselves & Theirs in the Small-pocks, or Measels

This is the second edition of the first medical document to be published in the American colonies. Only two specimens of the first edition—printed as a broadside in 1677/8—are known. The second edition is also extremely rare. Only three copies are extant, and this is the only one still with its title page.

Thacher, Thomas, 1620-1678
