In time, he rose to become a famous doctor, and even attended to Queen Victoria when she gave birth. However, he never lost his desire to destroy ch
13、olera once and for all.In general, doctors in those days had two contradictory theories to explain how cholera spread. One theory was that bad air caused the disease. The other was that cholera was caused by an infection from germs in food or water. Snow subscribed to the second theory. It was corre
14、ct, but he still needed proof. Consequently, when an outbreak of cholera hit London in 1854, Snow began to investigate. He discovered that 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.Snow began by marking
15、on a map the exact places where all those who died had lived. There were multiple deaths near the water pump in Broad Street (especially house numbers16, 37, 38 and 40). However, some households(such as20 and 21 Broad Street, and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths. These people worked in th
16、e pub at 7 Cambridge Street. They had been given free beer, and so had not drunk the water from the pump. Snow suspected that water pump was to blame. What is more, in another part of London, a woman and her daughter had died of cholera after moving away from Broad Street. It seemed that the woman l
17、iked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day. As a result of this evidence, John Snow was able to announce that the pump water carried cholera germs. Accordingly, he had the handle of the pump removed so that it could not be used. Through this intervention, t
18、he disease was stopped in its tracks.The truth was that the water from the Broad Street pump had been infected by waste. Moreover, Snow was later able to show a link between other cases of cholera and the different water companies in London. Some companies sold water from the River Thames that was p
19、olluted by raw waste. The people who drank this water were much more likely to get cholera than those drank pure or boiled water. Through Snows tireless efforts, water companies began to sell clean water, and the threat of cholera around the world saw a substantial decrease. However, cholera is stil
20、l a problem. Each year, millions of people around the world would get cholera and many die from it. Fortunately, we now know how to prevent cholera, thanks to the work of John Snow. Moreover, in his use of maps and statistics, Snow transformed the way scientists study diseases. For this reason, Snow is considered the father of modern epidemiology.5No pains, no gains.
