Synopsis
Cholera: What Is It? And How To Prevent It by Edwin Lankester is a mid-19th-century medical treatise that explains cholera's history, transmission, and prevention. Lankester traces outbreaks from 1817 through 1865, arguing for containment based on the three-part framework of poison, predisposition, and medium. He presents cholera as a disease of the mucous membranes not spontaneously generated, emphasizes the role of contaminated water and poor sanitation, and discusses how air, water, and contact may convey the disease. The text details the symptoms in three stages: premonitory diarrhea, collapse with rice-water stools, and a reactionary fever. It also outlines public health measures: fresh air, pure water, adequate nutrition, warmth, cleanliness, ventilation, and legal-sanctioned sanitation; and offers practical steps for households to treat diarrhea, disinfect contaminated items, and manage outbreaks before professional medical help is available. The work combines historical epidemiology with early public health policy and practical guidance for outbreak response.
