An English physician credited as a founder of modern epidemiology for his 1854 investigation of a cholera outbreak in London Soho district, in which he traced cases to a single contaminated water pump on Broad Street and had its handle removed, at a time when the prevailing miasma theory held that disease spread through bad air rather than contaminated water.
