Epidemic Theories on Cholera and Yellow Fever Debate
A 1872 Freeport letter surveys atmospheric and ground water theories of cholera origin. It contrasts miasm, ground water ferment theory, and electric theory, citing Sydenham, Pettenkofer, Orton, and Dr. Batton in a detailed critique of contagion versus environmental factors. The piece situates these ideas within broader Victorian debates on epidemic causation.
