Abstract
In 1854, one of the founders of modern epidemiology, Dr. John Snow, removed the handle from the Broad Street pump, in London, England. This seminal moment was based on Dr. Snow’s realization that the cholera plague raging through London was occurring due to people accessing this particular public water well. The public water well had been dug only 3 feet from a cesspit which had become contaminated by the diapers from a baby who had contracted cholera from another source. By removing the handle of the pump, Dr. Snow’s action is widely credited as instrumental in ending the outbreak of cholera in London.
