When a cholera pandemic swept the world in 1832, the general public were varyingly advised to surround themselves with 'aromatic effluvia' to counteract the effect of bad air, avoid raw vegetables and drink warm water. In this treatise, ship's doctor William Aiton attempts to isolate the real causes of such infectious diseases.
