Description
“Cholera in Relation to Certain Physical Phenomena” by T. R. Lewis and D. D. Cunningham is a pivotal study examining the environmental factors associated with cholera outbreaks in India. Commissioned by the Secretaries of State for War and India, the work investigates how meteorological conditions, air quality, and other physical phenomena impact the spread of cholera. Through rigorous analysis and field research, the authors challenge existing theories about disease causation, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding of environmental influences in public health strategies. This contribution significantly advanced the scientific discourse on cholera during the late 19th century.
