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 correct, 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 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 numbers 16, 37, 38, and 40).However , some house holds (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths .These people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street.

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 liked 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 choleragerms.

It seemed that the woman like 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, the disease was stopped in its tracks.
