In 1860, several diseases posed significant public health challenges, primarily due to limited medical knowledge and sanitation practices. Common ailments included tuberculosis, cholera, typhoid fever, and smallpox, which were prevalent in densely populated urban areas. Infectious Diseases were exacerbated by poor living conditions, lack of clean water, and inadequate nutrition. Additionally, outbreaks of diseases like yellow fever and diphtheria contributed to high mortality rates during this era.
