John Snow was a famous doctor in Lo

John Snow was a famous doctor in London - so expert, indeed, that he attended Queen Victoria as her personal physician. But he became inspired when he thought about helping ordinary people exposed to cholera. This was the deadly disease of its day. Neither its cause nor its cure was understood. So many thousands of terrified people died every time there was an outbreak. John Snow wanted to face the challenge and solve this problem. He knew that cholera would never be controlled until its cause was found
He became interested in two theories that possibly explained how cholera killed people. The first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air. A cloud of dangerous gas floated around until it found its victims. The second suggested that people absorbed this disease into their bodies with their meals. From the stomach the disease quickly attacked the body and soon the affected person died
John Snow suspected that the second theory was correct but he needed evidence. So when another outbreak hit London in 1854, he was ready to begin his enquiry. As the disease spread quickly through poor neighbourhoods, he began to gather information. In two particular streets, the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days. He was determined to find out why
First he marked on a map the exact places where all the dead people had lived. This gave him a valuable clue about the cause of the disease. Many of the deaths were near the water pump in Broad Street (especially numbers 16, 37, 38 and 40). He also noticed that some houses (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths. He had not foreseen this, so he made further investigations. He discovered that these people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street. They had been given free beer and so had not drunk the water from the pump. It seemed that the water was to blame
Next, John Snow looked into the source of the water for these two streets. He found that it came from the river polluted by the dirty water from London. He immediately told the astonished people in Broad Street to remove the handle from the pump so that it could not be used. Soon afterwards the disease slowed down. He had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas
In another part of London, he found supporting evidence from two other deaths that were linked to the Broad Street outbreak. A woman, who had moved away from Broad Street, liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day. Both she and her daughter died of cholera after drinking the water. With this extra evidence John Snow was able to announce with certainty that polluted water carried the virus
To prevent this from happening again, John Snow suggested that the source of all the water supplies be examined. The water companies were instructed not to expose people to polluted water any more. Finally "King Cholera" was defeated

约翰 · 斯诺是一位著名的医生，在伦敦-这样的专家，事实上，他出席了维多利亚女王的私人医生。但当他一想到要帮助普通人接触到霍乱，他成为了启发。这是其一天的致命疾病。既不是它的起因，也不是它的治疗被理解。每次爆发成千上万惊恐的老百姓病死。约翰 · 斯诺想要面临的挑战和解决这一问题。他知道永远不会控制霍乱，直到它的起因被发现他感兴趣可能解释霍乱造成人的死亡的两种理论。第一个看法是霍乱病毒在空气中。危险气体云彩漂浮了，直到它找到它的受害者。第二个建议人们吸收了这种疾病入他们的身体与他们的饭食。从胃部疾病迅速攻击身体和受影响的人很快就死了约翰 · 斯诺怀疑第二种理论是正确的但他需要证据。所以当另一个伦敦爆发于 1854 年，他是准备开始他的查询。随着这种疾病很快蔓延到贫民区，他开始收集信息。在两个特定的街道，霍乱流行得如此严重，超过 500 人死于十天。他决心要找出原因首先他标在地图上确切的地方，那些死去的人在居住的地方。这给了他一个宝贵的线索，关于这种疾病的原因。许多死亡是水泵在宽街 （尤其是数字 16、 37、 38 和 40） 附近。他也注意到有些房子 （例如 20 和 21 宽街和 8 和 9 剑桥街） 却无人死亡。他没有预料到这一点，所以他决定深入调查。他发现这些人在剑桥街 7 号在酒吧工作。他们得到了免费的啤酒，所以不喝了水从泵。看来水是罪魁祸首接下来，约翰雪看着水的源头这两条街。他发现它来自伦敦的脏水受到污染这条河。他立刻告诉吃惊的人民在宽街从泵删除句柄，以便它可以不使用。不久之后，这种疾病慢了下来。他表明，霍乱传播病菌，不在气体云他发现在伦敦的另一个部分，从两个被链接到宽街爆发其他死亡的证据支持。一个女人从宽街搬过来，喜欢那里的水从泵这么多她已经送到她的房子每一天。她和她的女儿喝了水后死于霍乱。有了这个额外的证据，约翰 · 斯诺就能够肯定地宣布这污染水携带病毒为了防止再次发生，约翰斯诺建议所有水源都要经过都检测。水公司受指示不能再让人们接触被污染的水。最后，"霍乱王"被击败了
