john Snow was a famous doctor,
and the personal physician of Queen Victoria as well.
Cholera was the deadly disease
which nobody knew the cause and the cure.
John Snow decided to solve this problem.
There existed two theories about how cholera killed people.
John snow supported the theory that people absorbed this disease into their bodies with their meals.
In 1854, another outbreak of cholera hit London.
He began to gather information in two particular streets.
He draw a map and discovered that many deaths were near the water pump in Broad Street while no deaths occurred in other places.
Later, He suspected that maybe the polluted water was to blame.
With enough evidence he made a conclusion that the polluted water was the cause.
The source of all the water supplies should be examined. finally, “king cholera” was defeated.
