Treatment of Cholera in the Royal Hospital, Haslar during the months of July and August, 1849, with remarks on the name and origin of the disease.

"Treatment of Cholera in the Royal Hospital, Haslar" by John Wilson is a mid-19th-century scientific account that closely examines how cholera patients were cared for during an outbreak at the Royal Hospital in Haslar in 1849. It's like a detailed medical report that goes over the treatments used back then, like calomel, turpentine, and hot baths, and stresses how important it was to properly spot the signs of cholera to tell it apart from other sicknesses. The book includes records of how many people got better or passed away from cholera. It also looks at where cholera might have come from, and Wilson shares his thoughts on whether or not cholera was contagious, pushing for better hygiene practices and public health changes to prevent future disease outbreaks.
