Pox, Pus, and Creeping Miasma: Disease and Death in the Colonial New England Online
Life was precarious in early New England, and there were many perils, not the least of which

medicine and its understanding of what caused – and how to cure - some of the more common

treatments endured by those living in the North East and English colonies.
