The ""King of Terrors"" is more prevalent today than at any time
throughout history. In seven major cholera pandemics beginning in
1817, hundreds of thousands of people have died. Although called
""The disease of filth,"" the deadly effects of cholera spared no
one, no matter their station in life. This book presents a
chronological depiction of the disease by those who suffered its
ravages, using their own words from hundreds of newspapers and
letters whenever possible. In so doing, the speculations, missteps,
sidetracks and prevailing fears are emphasised. The authors
describe the agonisingly slow march of progress toward discovering
the causes and the treatment of symptoms. Along the way, the heroes
of past and present are introduced: men and women who fought for
their beliefs-at times against vitriolic and powerful opponents,
including the medical authorities of their day.
