How about avoiding contact with others as much as possible and with the sick entirely. Washing and bathing as frequently as possible. Cooking food thoroughly.

‘As an additional precaution he procured and distributed widely a book on native herbs and other plants that grew wild in the South and were believed to possess curative qualities. As a result, despite frequent shortages of some drugs, the Confederate record was a good one. ‘ from http://www.civilwarhome.com/medicinehistory.htm. So one way to avoid sickness was with herbs.

The problem, of course, was that they didn’t know much about hygiene and good food – the camps were meant to be filthy and they ate a lot of unhealthy foods.
