Opis

In 1831, Cholera swept from Asia across Continental Europe, killing millions and throwing the medical profession into confusion. John Snow worked out that cholera spreads through drinking water. Drawing on 19th century medical, political and personal records, this book presents various diversions into aspects of medical and social history.
