RICHARDS, 37, GT. QUEEN STREET. - - - - -In the summer of 1849, I published certain conclusions at which I have -arrived with regard to Asiatic cholera, and the facts and reasonings -which had led to them. The following is a very brief outline of these -views. The cholera commences as an affection of the alimentary canal, -and not with general illness; there is no evidence of poisoning of the -blood in this disease, except in some cases where secondary fever -occurs; there is conclusive evidence that cholera may be communicated -from person to person, and it follows, therefore, that the morbid matter -which produces the disease is applied to the interior of the alimentary -canal, where it increases and multiplies during the period of so-called -incubation, and passes off, during the attack, to cause fresh cases when -suitable opportunities occur. Various circumstances connected with the -propagation of cholera seemed in accordance with the above view of its -pathology. Thus, it was observed to pass frequently from person to -person in the crowded habitations of the poor, who eat, drink, cook, and -sleep in the same apartment, and pay little or no regard to cleanliness, -who live, in fact, under circumstances where the sudden and copious -evacuations of cholera, soiling the bed and body linen, would not fail -to contaminate the hands of the patient and his attendants, and be -thence transferred to any food they might touch. The absence of colour -and odour in the evacuations could not help to favour this result. The -social visitor who came to see the poor patient, or attend his funeral, -frequently suffered, whilst the medical man, and others who partook of -no food in the apartment, and who washed their hands when requisite, -escaped. The mining districts of this country have suffered excessively -from cholera in each epidemic, an event which might be explained by the -following circumstances when taken in connexion with the above view of -the cause of the disease. The miners stay eight or nine hours at a time -in the pits, and take food with them, which they eat invariably with -unwashed hands, and without knife and fork, whilst the pits are without -privies, and are generally extremely foul and dirty. The entire absence -of daylight must also cause the workmen to take much more dirt with -their food than they are aware of. It occurred to me, as soon as I began -to entertain the above opinions, that if the cholera excreta could -reproduce the disease in the way just mentioned, they might also do so -when diffused in water taken as drink, and that unless this were the -case, the whole of the phenomena of cholera, as an epidemic, could not -be explained. I, therefore, sought anxiously, and waited patiently, for -some confirmation of this part of the subject before I should make my -views known. Two outbreaks of cholera occurred, however, about the end -of July 1849, one in Horsleydown, and the other in the Wandsworth Road, -which I investigated, and which afforded what I considered conclusive -evidence on the subject. The water drank by the persons attacked in each -of these outbreaks had received, amongst other impurities, what must -have come from a patient previously ill of the disease. I was able also -to point out that the cholera was prevailing most in those districts of -the metropolis which received their supply of water from certain parts -of the Thames which contained the sewage of the town, and, consequently, -whatever proceeded from the cholera patients. Before the end of 1849 I -was able to show that a very close connexion existed between the -mortality from cholera and the nature of the water supply, not only in -London, but throughout the country. This connexion was very evident in -certain towns, as Exeter and Hull, where the supply of water had been -changed between the epidemic of 1832 and that of 1849. Where a polluted -supply was changed for an unpolluted one, the cholera was almost -prevented; and where a scanty but unpolluted supply had been changed for -one contaminated with the sewage of the town, the epidemic prevailed to -a fearful extent. The attention of Dr. Wm. Budd and Dr. Farr was -directed to this subject, with the result of confirming what I had -stated. - -Between the epidemics of 1849 and that of 1853, one of the water -companies supplying the south districts of London changed its source of -supply from the middle of the town, near the foot of the Hungerford -Suspension Bridge, to Thames Ditton, at a part of the river which is -beyond the influence of the tide, and, therefore, out of reach of the -sewage of the metropolis. In the autumn of 1853 it was shown by Dr. -Farr[1] that the districts partly supplied by this, the Lambeth Water -Company, with improved water, suffered less than the districts supplied -entirely by the Southwark and Vauxhall Company with the water from the -river at Battersea Fields, although in 1849 they had suffered rather -more than the latter districts. By showing the water supply in -subdistricts, and thus getting a more correct line of demarcation, I was -able to point out[2] that the advantage in favour of the population -partly supplied with the purer water was even greater than Dr. Farr had -indicated. - -I had learnt from the evidence of Mr. Quick in the _Health of Towns -Reports_, that the division of the houses, between the Lambeth Company -on the one hand, and the Southwark and Vauxhall Company on the other, -was not such as obtains in the north districts of London, where a parish -is often divided between two water companies, but where one company -always leaves off at the point at which the other begins. Throughout the -greater part of Lambeth and Southwark, the whole of Newington, and a -part of Camberwell, however, the supply of the two companies above -mentioned is actually intermixed, the pipes of both companies going down -the same streets, in consequence of the active competition which once -existed between three water companies, two of which have since -amalgamated and come to an agreement with the other—the Lambeth company. -Observing, therefore, when the cholera returned in 1854, that there was -the same advantage in favour of the districts partly supplied with water -from Thames Ditton, I determined to make an inquiry, the idea of which I -had previously entertained. It was obvious that, if the diminished -mortality depended on the improved supply of water, the benefit of the -whole diminution would be enjoyed by the inhabitants of houses having -this supply, whilst the population receiving impure water would suffer -as much as that of the districts which received the same water, and no -other. This point could be determined by ascertaining the water supply -of every house in which a fatal attack of cholera might occur. After -commencing the inquiry I found that the circumstances were calculated -for affording even more conclusive evidence than I had anticipated. The -pipes of the two water companies not only passed down all the streets, -but into nearly all the courts and alleys. A single house often had a -different supply from that on either side. Each water company supplied -alike both rich and poor, and thus there was a population of 300,000 -persons, of various conditions and occupations, intimately mixed -together, and divided into two groups by no other circumstance than the -difference of water supply. One group supplied with water contaminated, -to a large extent, with the sewage of London, and the other receiving a -supply altogether free from such impurity. - -I took great care to ascertain the nature of the water supply correctly -in every instance. I did not rest content with the mere reply of the -resident, or the appearance of the water, without other evidence, such -as the production of the receipt for the water rate. I was also assisted -very much by the application of a chemical test to the water, for -throughout all the dry weather, which lasted whilst my inquiries were -being made, a mixture of sea water extended further up the Thames than -usual, and the water of the Southwark and Vauxhall Company contained -nearly forty grains of common salt per gallon, whilst that of the -Lambeth Company contained only ·95 of a grain. These analyses were -verified in numerous cases where the source of the water could be proved -clearly by other evidence. For the first four weeks of the epidemic I -employed the list of deaths from cholera published in the Weekly Returns -of the Registrar-General, and for the next three weeks, during which my -inquiry extended, I was kindly permitted to copy the addresses of -persons dying of cholera at the General Register Office. My personal -inquiry extended over every subdistrict to which the supply of the -Lambeth Water Company extended, and it, therefore, included all the area -in which the supply of the two companies was intermixed in the manner -explained above. - -At the time I was making my inquiry, the entire number of houses -supplied by each water company was known, from a return made to -Parliament, but the number of houses supplied in each district and -subdistrict by each company respectively was not known. In order, -therefore, to see the exact bearing of my results, I found it desirable -to extend the inquiry over the districts supplied exclusively by the -Southwark and Vauxhall Company; for this purpose I obtained the -assistance of Mr. Whiting, a medical man, who took great pains with his -part of the inquiry, which was merely to ascertain whether the houses in -which fatal attacks had taken place were supplied by the Southwark -Company, or from some other source, as a pump well or tidal ditch. His -inquiry extended over the first four weeks of the epidemic. - -I gave a copy of the first results of my inquiry to Dr. Farr, to whom I -was indebted for facilities very kindly afforded: and Dr. Farr being -much struck with these results, instituted a continuance of the inquiry -through the district registrars, who were requested to make a return of -the supply of water to each house in which a fatal attack of cholera -might occur in all the south districts of London. As the registrars -could not be expected to make a chemical analysis of the water, or to -seek out the landlord or agent in cases where the tenant was not -acquainted with the water supply, the question remained unanswered in a -considerable number of instances, but the return was obtained for more -than three-fourths of the deaths, and shows, no doubt, the correct -proportion. Dr. Farr’s inquiry commenced from the 27th of August, and -extended to the close of the epidemic; and as my inquiry extended to -August 26th, the water supply was obtained for the whole epidemic of -1854. It was only necessary to make a computation of the small number of -attacks occurring in houses supplied by pump wells or some other source, -in the three weeks—the 5th to the 7th inclusive—of the epidemic, in -Bermondsey and the other districts which do not receive the Lambeth -water. This computation was made according to the result ascertained in -the previous four weeks, and must approach very nearly to the truth. - -In treating of the general results of this inquiry, it is desirable to -divide the epidemic into different periods, as the influence of the -water supply was found to diminish in relative intensity as the epidemic -progressed. In the first four weeks of the epidemic of 1854, that is, -from July 9th to August 5th inclusive, there were 334 deaths from -cholera in the districts to which the supply of the two water companies -we are considering extends. The water supply in every one of these -instances was made a matter of personal inquiry, and the result of each -case was published by me in detail in the Appendix to a work on Cholera. -In 286 instances the supply of the house in which the attack took place -was that of the Southwark and Vauxhall Company; in 14 instances it was -that of the Lambeth Company; in 4 cases the supply was from a pump well; -in 26 cases the water was drawn direct from the river, or a canal, or a -tidal ditch; and in 4 cases the supply could not be ascertained, owing -to the address of the deceased persons, prior to the fatal attack, not -being known. The number of houses supplied by the Southwark and Vauxhall -Company was 40,046, having a population estimated by the -Registrar-General[3] at 266,516, and the number of houses supplied by -the Lambeth Company was 26,107, with an estimated population of 173,748; -the mortality from cholera was, therefore, at the rate of 107 to each -100,000 inhabitants supplied by the former company, and 8 to each -100,000 supplied by the latter; in other words, the disease was between -thirteen and fourteen times as fatal to the population having the impure -water as to that having the improved supply. It is particularly worthy -of remark that, during the four weeks of the epidemic we are now -considering, there were but 563 deaths from cholera in the whole -metropolis, of which 286, or more than one-half, occurred amongst the -customers of the Southwark and Vauxhall Company, who comprise a little -more than one-tenth of London, and a considerable number of the -remaining deaths took place amongst mariners, and others employed -amongst the shipping, who almost invariably draw their drinking water -directly from the river; it is, therefore, evident that at this early -period of the epidemic the impure water of the Thames was almost the -exclusive means of the propagation of the malady. - -In the next three weeks of the epidemic there were 1,180 deaths from -cholera in the districts supplied by the two water companies. Of these, -the fatal attack took place in 977 cases in houses supplied by the -Southwark and Vauxhall Company; in 84 cases in houses supplied by the -Lambeth company; in 101 instances the supply was from some other source; -and in 18 cases it could not be ascertained, for reasons previously -stated. Taking into account the population supplied respectively by each -company, the mortality was, at this period of the epidemic, nearly eight -times as great in that supplied by the Southwark and Vauxhall Company as -in that supplied by the Lambeth Company. - -During the last ten weeks of the epidemic, from August 27th to November -4th inclusive, 3,564 deaths occurred in the districts to which the -supply of the two water companies extends, and the returns of the -district registrars showed that in 2,443 cases the water supply of the -house in which the fatal attack took place was that of the Southwark and -Vauxhall Company; in 313 cases it was that of the Lambeth Company; in -207 instances the supply was from pump wells and other sources -independent of the two water companies, and in 601 instances the supply -was not ascertained.[4] These numbers show a mortality of 916 to each -100,000 inhabitants supplied by the Southwark and Vauxhall Company, and -180 to each 100,000 supplied by the Lambeth Company; consequently, at -this period of the epidemic, the mortality was still more than five -times as great amongst the population supplied by the former company as -amongst that supplied by the latter. - -The results of my inquiry into the supply of water were, of course, -obtained separately for each district and subdistrict in which the -inquiry was made, and were so published; but I was unable at the time to -show the relation between the supply of houses in which fatal attacks -took place, and the entire supply of each district and subdistrict, on -account of the latter circumstance not being known. I expressed myself -as follows in an article which I published soon after my inquiry was -made: “I hope shortly to learn the number of houses in each subdistrict -supplied by each of the water companies respectively, when the effect of -the impure water in propagating cholera will be shown in a very striking -manner, and with great detail.”[5] This information did not, however, -come within my reach till recently, and not even then with all the -accuracy I could desire. In the Report on the Cholera Epidemics of -London as affected by the Consumption of Impure Water, lately written by -Mr. Simon, and published by the General Board of Health, there is a -statement of the number of houses supplied by each of the water -companies respectively in each district and subdistrict. The line has -not been very accurately drawn where a street, as often happens, is -partly in one district and partly in another; and thus, in the recent -Report, the subdistricts of St. Saviour’s, Southwark, Leather Market, -Bermondsey, Battersea, and Peckham, have been represented to contain a -few houses supplied by the Lambeth Company, although they do not contain -any. With regard to Bermondsey, it is stated in a foot note that some -ends of streets may have been included which have passed the -registration boundary, and this has happened in other cases; but the -errors arising from this cause are limited in amount, and cannot much -affect the statistical calculations that I have made. There is also a -further imperfection in the account of the water supply of the -subdistricts. The numbers which are stated to represent the houses -supplied by each water company in each subdistrict are found on adding -up the tables not to do so, but to represent the number of houses, minus -those situated in streets in which no death occurred; the latter being -placed all together at the end of each group of subdistricts which -constitutes a district. Streets vary in size from one or two houses to -two or three hundred, and the small streets would obviously be the most -likely to be exempt from mortality; it could, therefore, do little good -to distinguish such streets; however, if thought desirable, this could -as well have been done by simply stating the number of the houses, -without deducting them from the gross number in each subdistrict. The -number of houses in these exempted streets is about one-ninth of the -whole. Instead of being able to compare, as I could wish, the mortality -in the houses supplied by each company with the exact number of houses -supplied, I have only been able to compare it with the number of houses -in the streets in which deaths occurred. This will necessarily raise the -proportion of deaths about one-ninth; but there is every reason to -believe that the relative proportion of deaths in the population -supplied by the two companies respectively, which is the real object of -the inquiry, will remain almost unaltered. - -As the first four weeks of the epidemic did not furnish a sufficient -number of cases in all the subdistricts to serve for a statistical -inquiry in detail, I have commenced by taking the first seven weeks of -the epidemic collectively; and the first of the tables which accompanies -this paper exhibits the results of my personal inquiry, when placed in -connexion with the number of persons and houses supplied in each -subdistrict by each water company respectively.[6] The reader will -observe from the last division of the table that the proportion of -deaths was, in every subdistrict, very much greater amongst the -population supplied by the Southwark and Vauxhall Company than amongst -that supplied by the Lambeth Company, and that the relative mortality is -nearly the same throughout, except in two or three instances, where -there were but one or two deaths for the basis of calculation amongst -the customers of the Lambeth Company. The second table shows the results -of that part of the inquiry conducted by Mr. Whiting, treated in a -similar manner. In the subdistricts here enumerated, which were -supplied, except just on the border of three of them, exclusively by the -Southwark and Vauxhall Company, the mortality will be observed to be -nearly the same, only a little higher, than amongst the population -supplied by the same company, and mixed with that supplied by the -Lambeth Company, as shown in the previous table. In the third table the -figures contained in the two first are collected into a more compact -form, to show the result of the inquiry during the first part of the -epidemic, arranged in districts. The fourth table contains the results -of that part of the inquiry made by Dr. Farr, when compared with the -population supplied by each water company respectively. It is -necessarily arranged in districts—for the results were so published in -the Weekly Returns[7]—and not in subdistricts. The mortality during the -last ten weeks of the epidemic was greater than during the first seven -weeks, but the reader will observe that a very great disproportion -continues in every district between the mortality of the population -supplied by one company and that supplied by the other. There is no -district to which the supply of both companies extends in which the -mortality is not more than three times as great amongst the persons -supplied by the Southwark Company as amongst those supplied by the -Lambeth Company, and the general result shows a proportion of ninety-one -to eighteen, or more than five to one, as was stated before. - -In the fifth table the numbers in the previous ones are added together, -and fresh calculations made, so as to show the result of the inquiry for -the whole epidemic. The instances in which the water supply was not -specified, or not ascertained, in the returns made by the district -registrars must evidently nearly all have been cases in which the house -was supplied by one or other of the water companies, for, if the persons -received no such supply, and obtained water from a pump well, canal, or -ditch, there could be no difficulty in knowing the fact. Moreover, as -the two water companies are guided by precisely the same regulations, -the difficulty in ascertaining the supply is exactly the same with -regard to one as the other; I, therefore, concluded that I could not be -wrong in dividing the non-ascertained cases between the two companies in -the same proportion as those which were ascertained, and I have done so -at the foot of table V, in order to obtain a complete view of the -influence of the water supply during the whole epidemic of 1854. These -general results I have employed as the basis of some further -calculations. - -In table VI I have copied from the Weekly Returns of the -Registrar-General the mortality from cholera in every subdistrict to -which the supply of both, or either, of the water companies extends. I -have also calculated the number of deaths which would have taken place -in each subdistrict according to the number of persons supplied with -water by each company respectively, and in accordance with the mortality -ascertained for the whole of the population supplied; and it will be -observed that the calculated mortality bears a very close relation to -the real mortality in each subdistrict. This relation exists with regard -both to the gross mortality and to the mortality to each 10,000 living, -all through the table, and proves the overwhelming influence which the -nature of the water supply exerted over the mortality, overbearing every -other circumstance which could be expected to affect the progress of the -epidemic. Thus, in the crowded, dirty, and very poor subdistricts of -Lambeth Church, first part, and Waterloo, first part, lying by the river -side, the mortality was low in consequence of the water supply being -chiefly that of the Lambeth Company; whilst in the thinly peopled, and -comparatively genteel subdistricts of Clapham and Battersea the -mortality was very high, in consequence of the impure water of the -Southwark and Vauxhall Company. Taking this inquiry altogether, and -considering that the results which were published two years ago, and -could only be estimated collectively, are now corroborated in detail -through upwards of thirty subdistricts, it probably supplies a greater -amount of statistical evidence than was ever brought to bear on a -medical subject. - -At the latter part of 1854, the General Board of Health procured from -the two water companies, by order of the Secretary of State, a list of -all the houses which they supplied, which lists are very valuable, as -affording the means of ascertaining the exact water supply of each -district and subdistrict separately. By direction of the Scientific -Committee of the Board of Health, the lists have been employed in making -a supplemental inquiry into the effect of the water supply on cholera. -For this purpose they were compared with the lists of deaths at the -General Registrar Office, and the results have been embodied in the -recent Report of Mr. Simon, previously referred to. There are, however, -certain circumstances, which were probably unknown to the Scientific -Committee, and which render it impossible that an inquiry, conducted in -this manner, could do more than approximate to the truth; and show why -it can bear no comparison in point of accuracy to a personal inquiry, -made on the spot, at the time of the epidemic. In the first place, -throughout the greater part of Lambeth, Newington, and the Borough, the -houses are either without numbers, or numbered very irregularly, and the -numbers are liable to frequent change, as new houses are built, or older -ones repainted; there are also frequently repetitions of the same number -in the same street, and although, in some instances, the companies have -returned the names of the occupiers, that can be of no assistance in the -case of the poor, who occupy but one or two rooms, and form the greater -bulk of the population. In the next place, the poor often furnish, -unintentionally, a wrong number to the registrar, even when the houses -are regularly numbered. They know their own homes perfectly, but, having -no occasion to refer to the number, they partially forget it; and, in -the greater number of my personal inquiries, I had to call at two or -three houses before I found the one in which the death occurred. For -these reasons it follows that, in comparing the lists of the water -supply with the lists of deaths, many errors must have occurred; and as -the deaths were six times as numerous in the houses supplied by the -Southwark and Vauxhall Company as in those supplied by the Lambeth -Company, the evident result would be that out of every six mistakes five -would transfer a death from the former company to the latter, and only -one would transfer a death from the latter company to the former. -Another source of error, but operating to a less extent, is, that a -number of persons who were attacked with cholera in houses supplied by -the Southwark Company died in the workhouses of St. Saviour’s, Lambeth, -and Newington, which were supplied by the Lambeth Company. It need -excite no surprise, therefore, that the supplemental inquiry, embodied -in the recent Report, instead of showing a mortality of 160 and 27 for -the population supplied by the two water companies, or a difference of 6 -to 1, showed a mortality of 125 and 37 per 10,000, or a difference of -only 3½ to 1. It must be obvious, however, independently of the above -facts, that a difference of three and a-half to one would not explain -the great difference in the mortality of the various districts and -subdistricts. The epidemic of 1853 is included with that of 1854 in Mr. -Simon’s Report; but as there were but few deaths in 1853, and those -chiefly amongst the population supplied by the Southwark Company, this -circumstance would not much affect his results. - -It is probable that, when the facts brought to light by this inquiry are -sufficiently known, no one will deny the influence of impure water in -promoting the mortality of cholera; but it must not be supposed that it -is mere impurity of an ordinary kind that causes the disease, for there -are innumerable facts to prove that ordinary impurities have no such -effect, and that it is only when the specific morbid matter of the -disease gains access to the water that cholera is propagated. Thousands -of people drank water from their own neglected cisterns, during the late -epidemic, as impure as that of the Southwark and Vauxhall Company, -without ill effect. An inquiry made by the vestry of St. James’, -Westminster,[8] proved that the contents of a cesspool had been -percolating for months through the three feet of earth which separated -it from the pump well in Broad Street; but although hundreds of people -were daily drinking the water, and cholera was extending fearfully in -many parts of London, only a few scattered cases occurred in the streets -near the pump till the end of August, when, a case having happened -amongst the persons using the privy connected with the cesspool above -mentioned, more than five hundred persons were attacked within two or -three days. - -In the cases in which the cholera poison gains access to a limited -supply of drinking water, such as a tank or pumpwell, the outbreak it -occasions is always sudden, violent, and limited; but when a river is -the medium of the propagation of the disease, its progress is more -gradual and extended, being diffused amongst the whole population using -the water. - -It is hardly necessary to remark, that every circumstance which proves -the communication of cholera through the medium of water, corroborates -the views, explained at the beginning of this paper, regarding its -propagation in the crowded houses of the poor; for it cannot be supposed -that a morbid matter, which can produce its specific effects after being -diffused and distributed through a quantity of water, could fail to act -in an undiluted state. - -It was my intention to make some remarks on the drainage and water -supply of towns, but this communication has already exceeded the limits -which I prescribed for it. - - - - - TABLE I. - _Shewing the results of the Author’s personal Inquiry in Twenty-One - Sub-Districts._ - - - ┌────────────┬──────────────┬─────────┬──────────┬──────────╥ - │ │ │ │ │ ║ - │ │ │ │ │ ║ - │ │ │Number of│ │Estimated ║ - │Registration│ Registration │inhabited│Population│ constant ║ - │ Districts. │Sub-Districts.│houses in│ in 1851. │population║ - │ │ │ 1851. │ │per house.║ - │ │ │ │ │ ║ - │ │ │ │ │ ║ - ├────────────┼──────────────┼─────────┼──────────┼──────────╫ - │ │ │ │ │ ║ - │ │ │ │ │ ║ - │ │ │ │ │ ║ - │ │ │ │ │ ║ - ├────────────┼──────────────┼─────────┼──────────┼──────────╫ - │ │ │ │ │ ║ - │ │ │ │ │ ║ - ├────────────┼──────────────┼─────────┼──────────┼──────────╫ - │St. Saviour,│1. │ 1,887│ 16,022│ 8·5║ - │ Southw. │ Christchurch│ │ │ ║ - │St. George, │1.
