Note 27 — AN ACCOUNT OF THE PLAGUE AT MOSCOW.
Richard Pearson translation
Dr. Pogaretzky, who had the care of the pest-hospital, Laforte, told me that some of the bearers of the dead had put on sheep-skins that had been worn by the impested, after having exposed them to the open air for forty-eight hours, in the month of December, when the frost was very intense; and that none of them became infected.
