What can you do to avoid the plague? The answer is: very
little. Although there are no fewer than twenty-three
medical treatises dedicated to it by 1600, including
hundreds of recipes for medicines, none of them will help
you. Nor will perfuming your room and airing it with fire
save you-despite this being the official advice of the
College of Physicians.
