A weekly programme about work in the world of science
* Snow, Water, and Cholera' by J. M. Macintosh , M.D.
Professor of Public Health in the University of London
It is a hundred years, almost to the day, since Dr. John Snow published in the Medical Times and Gazette an account of the reasoning that led him to connect water supplies and outbreaks of cholera. No longer have practitioners to deal with five hundred cases in ten days. Professor Macintosh explains how the change was effected as a result of the application of scientific method by Dr. John Snow.
