What's the difference between antivariolous and smallpox?
Antivariolous
Definition:
(a.) Preventing the contagion of smallpox.
Example Sentences:

Smallpox
Definition:
(n.) A contagious, constitutional, febrile disease characterized by a peculiar eruption; variola. The cutaneous eruption is at first a collection of papules which become vesicles (first flat, subsequently umbilicated) and then pustules, and finally thick crusts which slough after a certain time, often leaving a pit, or scar.
Example Sentences:
