Cholera is an infectious disease caused by germs.People who
are infected with this disease will suffer from severe diarrhoea,
dehydration and even death.As a young doctor,John Snow felt a
little frustrated at first,but he was determined to defeat "King
Cholera"once and for all.There were then
two contradictory theories to explain how cholera spread.
Snow subscribed to the correct theory that cholera was caused by
an infection from germs in food or water.But Snow
needed proof and findings.It happened that cholera broke out in
London in 1854,and Snow began to investigate.He discovered
that there were multiple deaths in some households near the water
pump in Broad Street.This showed there was a link between the
cases of cholera and the water.Snow suspected that the water
pump was to blame,so he had the handle of the water pump
removed.Thanks to Snow's intervention,people began to
drink pure water instead of raw water.Thus,there was
a substantial decrease in the threat of cholera.Furthermore,in
his use of maps and statistics,Snow transformed the way
scientists study diseases.His thinking and concept on disease
were quite novel at that time.Therefore,Snow is considered the
father of modern epidemiology.

查结果。854年伦敦怡巧暴发乃麗乱,斯诺开调查。他发现宽街水系附近的
一些住户有多人死元,这说明麗乱病例与饮用水有关联。斯诺怀疑水系是罪财祸

而不是原水。因此,麗乱的威胁大幅降西。比外,斯诺利用地图和统计教据,
放变马科学家研缔疾病的方式。他对疾病的思考和观念花当时是相当新颖的。因
