520			_a"The Charitable Pestmaster; Or, The Cure of the Plague" by Sherwood is a medical treatise written in the early 17th century. This book serves as a guide for those affected by the plague, providing practical instructions on how to prevent and treat infection. Its focus is on both the general populace and the impoverished, blending medical knowledge with societal concerns during an era marked by frequent outbreaks of disease. The content of the book is divided into three chapters, each outlining various aspects of plague management. In the first chapter, Sherwood discusses the causes of the plague and offers preventive measures, including dietary recommendations and the avoidance of polluted air. The second chapter delves into the symptoms of infection and the indicators of recovery or deterioration, emphasizing the importance of proper care. The third chapter provides specific remedies and procedures for treating infected individuals, detailing methods of purification and the use of medicinal concoctions. Notably, Sherwood's work also includes a brief section on the smallpox disease, further showcasing his holistic approach to public health during a time of limited medical knowledge.
