John Snow was a Victorian physician who helped to establish that
cholera was spread by contaminated water (not bad air, as theory
had it). He traced the source of a deadly cholera outbreak to one
pump and was able to have it closed, ending the outbreak, despite
deep resistance from the local authorities, who did not want to
believe his theory. This was a massive event in public health and
the founding event of the science of epidemiology. Snow was also an
early pioneer of anaesthesia. A dedicated scientist, the results of
his work are still evident. He saved untold lives. This is his
story.
