Cholera

John Snow (1813-1858)

John Snow was

born in York on

March 15th, 1813,

His father worked as a laborer. While p

oor, his parents were determined to give th

eir children whatever educational opportu

nities they could afford. He was educated a

t a private school in his native city until th

e age of fourteen, when he was apprentice

d( 当学徒 ) to William Hardcastle, a surge

on( 外科医生 ) living at Newcastle-on-T

yne.

After serving for a short time as a surgeo

n and unqualified assistant during the ch

olera epidemic of 1831-1982, he became i

n October 1836 a student at the Hunteria

n School of medicine in Great Windmill

Street, London. He began to attend the m

He graduated M.D. of the University of

London on 20 Dec. 1844, and in 1850 he

was admitted a licentiate of the Royal

College of Physicians.

He designed a chloroform inhaler( 氯仿吸入器 ), described in his book, On Chloroform and other Anesthetics, published in 1858.

Dr. Snow was also a prominent anesthesiologist( 麻醉师 )

What else was he famous for?

What is Cholera?

Cholera is the illness caused by a ba

cterium called Vibria cholerae. It infec

ts people’s intestines( 肠 ), causing dia

rrhea( 腹泻 ), vomiting( 呕吐 ) and leg

cramps( 小腿抽筋 ).

The most common cause of cholera is by

someone eating food or drinking water

that has been contaminated with the

bacteria.

After a disaster, this is a very real

danger, since regular, clean water and

food supplies are often unavailable. The

disease can be spread even further by

infected people using already dirty

water sources to clean themselves

or dispose of waste.

Cholera can be mild or even without

symptoms, a severe case can lead to

death without immediate treatment. The

diarrhea and vomiting brought on by the

infection quickly leaves the body without

enough fluid. The following

dehydration( 脱水 ) and shock can kill a

person within hours.

Look at the picture, the title and the

map, guess what the content of the text

is. Then skim it quickly to see if you are

right.

When we want to solve some problem.

First we should find the problem, do so

me research on it, prove your finding, a

nd then make a conclusion. This is a sci

entific and objective way of researching.

1. What order would you put the seven in?

Pre-readingPre-reading

draw a conclusion

think of a method

make a question

Please put the

7 stages in right

order according

to the passage.

Infectious diseases can be spread to

other people. They have an unknown

cause and need public health care to

solve them.

2. What do you know about infectious

diseases?

Repel ( 回避 ) may be exposed to an i

nfectious diseases, so may animals, su

ch as bird flu. AIDS, SARS are infect

ious diseases.

Infectious diseases are difficult to cur

3. What do you know about cholera?

The most common cause of cholera is by

No death happened here.

The water from the pump was to blame.

Small, white, flocculent

particles

The water was from the river which had been polluted by the dirty water from London.

Find supporting evidence: What extra evidence did he find?

safe drinks include tea or coffee made

with boiled water and carbonated, bottled

beverages with no ice.

•Eat only food that's been thoroughly

cooked and is still hot, or fruit that

you've peeled yourself.

•Avoid undercooked or raw fish and

shellfish.

•Avoid raw salads and vegetables. •Avoid food and drinks from street

vendors.

"Boil it, cook it, peel it, or forget it."

TIPS

Group Discussion

1. John Snow believed Idea 2 was right.

How did he finally prove it?

John Snow finally proved his idea

because he found an outbreak that was

clearly related to cholera, collected

information and was able to tie cases

outside the area to the polluted water.

2. Do you think John Snow would have solved this problem without the map? No. The map helped John Snow organize his ideas. He was able to identify those households that had had many deaths and check their water-drinking habits. He identified those houses that had had no deaths and surveyed their drinking habits. The evidence clearly pointed to the polluted water being the cause.

3. Cholera is a 19th century disease. What

disease do you think is similar to cholera

today?

Two diseases, which are similar today,

are SARS and AIDS because they are

both serious, have an unknown cause and

need public health care to solve them.
