چکیده

would remain in the way of novelty to be disclosed by the latest edition of the newest text-book. True enough, Doctor Snow failed to point out the supremely unimportant facts that the "morbid material . . . most likely . . . a cell" is monotrichic, and that a cholera-red reaction may be obtained, but for sheer downright common sense his concept of cholera is commendable. It is too easy, with the mind dominated by the great period of discovery in bacteriology, to forget that a period antedated that which is by far the more intriguing of the two; the period during which uncertainty was rife, modern concepts were emerging, and traditional beliefs were tenaciously holding on by threads ever nearer the breaking-point. Of this period was John Snow, M.D., and his works on cholera and "On Continuous Molecular Changes"-which treats of the spread of epidemic diseases-are still worthy of attention. One might wonder if the title "Snow on Cholera," like "Fracastoro's Syphilis," and ever so many more, may not be designed to catch the unwary who selects his reading upon the basis of the shelf-back only.
