he stopped it by tracking down loads of people in1854 and found they all drank from a well john snow soon tracked down the well and with the evidence he had he shut the well down and cholera had gone he had saved the day
Name of Dr. John snow is permanently associated with the cholera. He was a physician in London. Dr. John Snow prepared the dot map of the cholera patients. He could locate the origin of cholera on Broad street (now Broadwick street) of Soho district of London. Almost all the patients had consumed water from one particular pump. Some monks from the area were not affected by cholera. But then, they did not used the water for drinking. But instead they used to consume beer to quench the thirst. The theory was not accepted immediately. But then, you can not hide the truth for long. Just like that, you can not hide the sun with your hands.
He tracked down the disease and cholera was gone
John Snow identified contaminated water as a leading cause of cholera.
Infected water from the Broad Street pump
He didn't - that was John Snow of England. Snow didn't know EXACTLY what was in the water that caused cholera to spread, but he was able to prove, to most everyone's satisfaction, that it was contaminated water, and not foul air, that caused cholera to spread.
http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Snow_(physician) I am not sure from the above article if John Snow did show that his own belief was false (that cholera was spread through the drinking water of the Broad Street pump) . He did try to demonstrate that the common belief that cholera was spread by "bad air" was false...
Ther is no such thing as a cholera vaccine. Best cure is hydration an avoiding spread by exercising strict hygiene.
In 1854 John Snow mapped the cases of cholera in Soho, London, and realised that almost all of them were likely to have taken their water from the same pump. The spread of cholera stopped when the handle of the Broad Street pump was removed.
John Snow discovered cholera in 1852, from contaminated water.
john snow improved health by finally finding a cure to cholera.
He drew dot, for each death caused by cholera on a street map. Then he mad an " X " for every public water pump. Then he discovered a geographical pattern of how the disease spread.
cholera was stopped by the public health act introduced by the government
The great physician from London, Dr. john Snow proved the same in 1854. He made a map of patients from Broad street (now Broadwick street) of Soho district, London.
Nobody. It was John Snow in 1854
So he wouldn't get lost and wind up in Small Pox.
Cholera bacteria was first isolated by Filipo pancini 1812-1883, 84 years before he was actually credited with its discovery. A paper was published by him in in 1854 during the Asiatic cholera pandemic of 1846-63. in it he has the description of the cholera causing organism and its relationship to the disease. It was titled Microscopical observations and pathological deductions on cholera.
