whoops - missed the replies on this one!

possibly very easy this, but what purpose did the following serve?

 

[lazygun]

Anti-miasma mask?.

 

[Winters_Sorrow]

hmm - along the right lines although I'd like a more specific historical context

who used it and when? (approx)

...Never Google,so the best I can do is Middle/Dark ages/the Black Death/Spanish Flu,..Doctors?....

On second thought lets just say i was wrong.
If 1st try was off-target then no 2nd go's.

This mask is a part of a doctor's protective suit of about 15th-18th centuries helping him to survive an epidemic of plague and pox or, at least believed to do so.

1st try wasn't wrong, I just wanted to see if you could identify which period this mask was mainly used - and Middle Ages, Black Death is correct.
Extra kudos for not using Goodle
