In the eighteenth century, Daniel Sutton pioneered a simple inoculation method to counter smallpox. His technique paved the way for Edward Jenner's discovery of vaccination, but he is now largely forgotten. Gavin Weightman reclaims Sutton's importance, showing how the clinician's discoveries advanced understanding of the nature of disease.
