    As the days went by and the number of deaths began to increase, the Board of Health in London began to improve people’s living conditions by creating the indoor restroom, This, however, caused more problems for the people of London, due to the lack of a proper sewage system, “London needed a citywide sewage system that could remove waste products from houses in a reliable and sanitary fashion,...,The problem was one of jurisdiction, not execution,”(Page 117). London didn’t have a place where the sewers could lead off to which keep the disease spreading when people used the restroom. After months of battling the type of disease London was faced with, Mr. Snow convinced the Board of Health to remove the water pump that was on Board Street. By getting rid of this pump, Mr. Snow helped stop major outbreaks from recurring, “The removal of the pump handle was a historical turning point, and not because it marked the end of London’s most explosive epidemic,..., It marks a turning point in the battle between urban man and Vibrio cholerae, because for the first time a public institution had made an informed intervention into a cholera outbreak based on a scientifically sound theory of the disease.”(Page 162- 163). This marked the end of the London epidemic and how the world of science…

    This doctor, Dr. Smith, was increasingly suspicious, as he knew that it was impossible for such an antidote to exist. Just as Charles and Mary were skilled impostors, Dr. Smith was well renowned and extremely knowledgeable in the field of medicine (analogy). He planned to confront and expose the couple’s scheme in Kingsville. Dr. Smith approached the couple, pretending to be a commoner, and asked them several questions about their antidote, including its ingredients and its benefits. Unsatisfied with the answers he received, Dr. Smith decided to buy a vial of the potion himself and analyze its contents. Upon opening the vial, he was revulsed by the potion’s effluvium, yet he proceeded to drink the vial’s contents. Dr. Smith was shocked, when he was able to identify the taste of certain herbs in the antidote. He immediately revealed his true identity as a doctor and accused Charles and Mary of falsely selling a cure, which consisted of nothing but foul-smelling herbs. Because of his truculent nature, Charles began to argue with the doctor. However, when Dr. Smith threatened to have Charles and Mary arrested, the couple showed contrite for their actions and apologized to both the doctor and the townspeople. Furthermore, they returned the money they had earned from their scheme and were forced to, once again, return to their lives…

    Chillingworth 's early studies had made him significantly familiar with the medicine of his day; because of this, he presented himself as a physician to the townspeople of Boston. Skilful men of the medical field were rarely found in the colony, and as a result, Chillingworth was warmly welcomed.

    Discovery of the Germ

    Waller’s thesis begins with the idea of a 20 year transformation of medicine. This is true because medicine did a complete 180 in its beliefs, practices, and studies. The germ theory wasn’t only a transformation of medicine, but a revolution of medical practice as we know it today. Waller then explains that the central role of germs lies within the cause of illnesses, in which he is talking about the germ theory so this, will lead to the idea that germs equal disease. The final portion of his thesis is the most intriguing when he states that, “…Western doctors abandoned misconceived ideas about the causes and nature of disease…” For thousands of years, cause of disease was backed by the humoral theory and the focus was on the patient (his/her culture, society, etc.). Waller’s thesis explains that even today, these ideas have been abandoned, but history of medicine proves that monocausal explanations of disease are problematic in treatment of disease.…
