It killed people in the 1840's - 1850's, or atleast cholera did.
To re-hydrate a victim of cholera in the 1800's, you could mix sugar, salt, and water and drink in large amounts.
The most convenient cure for cholera is preventing it from occurring in the first place. If a person is infected, the cure for cholera involves treatment with fluid replacement and possibly antibiotics. If treatments for cholera are started in a timely manner and in adequate volumes, a cure for cholera is possible in greater than 99% of cases.

To stop the cholera epidemic, you need to attack the cholera on two fronts. One is to stop the spread of cholera and second is to treat the patients of cholera. Chlorination of water is the best method to make the water safe for drinking. For chlorination to be effective, the water need to be free from the organic material. You go for super-chlorination in cholera epidemic. Food should be freshly cooked to eat. Second in treatment of the cholera patients. If the patient of cholera dies, you may create the panic in the minds of people and they can run to other towns to create the new foci of cholera epidemic. So you need to isolate the patients to some convenient place, like school. You have to treat the patient aggressively, with intravenous fluids as well as with oral re-hydration solution. You need to seek cooperation from all the sections of the community. Quality of leadership makes all the difference. With proper and confident management you can stop the cholera epidemic, rather dramatically.
Technically, it was discovered by Tandori Humphreville, a British explorer born in the mid 1800s. He died in 1894 from cholera.
In 1854 and 1873, there was an outbreak of cholera, so the Oktoberfest in both years was canceled. Cholera was a frequent illness in the 1800s, caused from drinking dirty or contaminated water. The Oktoberfest celebration was first held in 1810 for the marriage of Prince Ludwig.
You have only a few days to live if you get Cholera. However, it is extremely easy to treat Cholera by restoring the proper fluids in the blood stream. So, if you choose to get treatment, you can live out your normal life span.
Tetracycline or furazolidone is given to treat the cholera. But then the diarrhoea comes under control, say after three days. So that you can manage the same on oral rehydration therapy. The cholera epidemic comes under control rapidly in a small town, as the people cooperate you and take your advice, word to word.
