Precisely, & John Snow founded the science of Epidemiology in the process.
He plotted the outbreaks onto a local map & visited the houses, spoke to relatives & by a process of elimination that Sherlock Holmes would be proud of sourced one outbreak back to a water pump in a yard in Soho.
Upon further examination, it was revealed that the waste from overflowing cess-pools was contaminating the well supplying the pump
