"I arrived at the conclusion in the latter part of 1848, that cholera is communicated by the evacuations from the alimentary canal."--John Snow, On the Mode of Communication of Cholera, 1848On the Mode of Communication of Cholera (1848) is an essay by English physician John Snow wherein he presents his theory that diseases such as cholera and the plague were not caused by bad air, but by germs that were spread by contaminated water, dirty clothing, and fecal contact. At a time when the germ theory of disease was not yet known, Snow's theory was revolutionary and laid the groundwork for modern epidemiology. In 1855, Snow published a more detailed second edition, which included his investigation of the role of the water supply in the cholera epidemic of 1854 in the Soho neighborhood of London (also available from Cosimo Classics).

"The point requiring most skill and care in the administration of the vapour of ether is, undoubtedly, to determine when it has been carried far enough." --John Snow, On the Inhalation of the Vapour of Ether in Surgical Operations, 1847English physician John Snow was one of the first physicians to study the use of ether and chloroform as surgical anesthetics. This enabled patients to undergo surgical procedures without the pain they would otherwise experience. In 1847, he published On the Inhalation of the Vapour of Ether in Surgical Operations, which established Snow's reputation as a frontrunner in the field of anesthesiology and solidified his place in the history of medicine.This book is an important read for students of medicine, historians, and those interested in the developments in health and medicine throughout the ages.
