Book excerpt: In late 1854, a doctor was called to a house in Hampstead, West London. He found the patient - an elderly lady - scrunched up into a ball, a rictus of agony contorting her features. Most remarkably, all the moisture in her body seemed somehow to have been sucked out, leaving her dried up like a shrivelled husk... Of all the diseases that afflicted people in the nineteenth century, the pandemics of cholera were undoubtedly the most terrifying. Yet much of their horror could have been avoided for, at a comparatively early stage, their true nature and course had been uncovered. In one of the most extraordinary detective stories in the history of scientific discovery, an English doctor, using a mixture of observation, logic and statistical evidence, had patiently tracked down the disease, and unmasked it for what it was. Yet he faced formidable opposition, for this was a time before the discovery of germs, when ideas about the causes of disease did not allow for such a breakthrough. Political and social reformers were determined to use their, incorrect, understanding of cholera to push for improvements that would change the role of government in the UK and improve the lives of its citizens. John Snow was cast in the unfortunate role of having to challenge their efforts in order to bring to public attention how the disease could be effectively prevented.This book, written for the general reader, sets the work of Snow against the backdrop of the political and social events of the time. It reveals how it was, ultimately, the combination of the political campaigns waged by Edwin Chadwick and John Simon, and the medical breakthrough by Snow, that enabled the UK to be one of the first countries to ban the spectre of cholera from its shores.

Download or read book Cholera written by S.L. Kotar and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-03-17 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In seven major cholera pandemics beginning in 1817, the "King of Terrors" has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. The deadly effects of the so-called "disease of filth" spared no one, no matter their station in life--and today cholera is more prevalent than at any time throughout history. This book traces the history of the disease and the experience of those who suffered its ravages, using their own words from hundreds of newspapers and letters whenever possible. In so doing, the speculations, missteps, sidetracks and prevailing fears are emphasized. The authors describe the agonizingly slow march of progress toward discovering the causes and the treatment of symptoms. Along the way, the heroes of past and present are introduced: men and women who fought for their beliefs--at times against vitriolic and powerful opponents, including the medical authorities of their day.

Book excerpt: Only in recent years has it been revealed that V. cholerae is a normal inhabitant of esturine and riverine waters.

Book excerpt: “[A] fusion of science, social, and medical history . . . fascinating . . . the understanding of and responses to cholera are covered in detail and with sensitivity” —The Victorian Web Discover the story of the disease that devastated the Victorian population, and brought about major changes in sanitation. Drawing on the latest scientific research and a wealth of archival material, Amanda J. Thomas uses first-hand accounts, blending personal stories with an overview of the history of the disease and its devastating after-effects on British society. This fascinating history of a catastrophic disease uncovers forgotten stories from each of the major cholera outbreaks in 1831–2, 1848–9, 1853–4 and 1866. Amanda J. Thomas reveals that Victorian theories about the disease were often closer to the truth than we might assume, among them the belief that cholera was spread by miasma, or foul air. “The book acts as a complete overview of cholera in Victorian Britain, taking a new, accessible approach to a topic previously covered predominately by academic researchers.” —Harpenden History
