Snow's contribution was an improved understanding on how Cholera was spread, i.e epidemiology.

Since cholera is a bacterial disease, the only way to cure it is to wait for the body's natural defenses to defeat it and antibiotics to shorten the duration. During Snow's time the germ theory of disease was not yet accepted so antibiotics were not even known - consequently he really couldn't develop a cure for it. Treatment is mostly a matter of keeping the victim hydrated and keeping their electrolytes from getting out of balance.

Yes, Cholera can be treated and cured. However there is no vaccination, so even if you are cured, you could catch it again. Cholera is treated by replacing fluids and electrolytes in your body which are lost by diarrhoea. See the related question below for more information.
