Cholera most forcibly teaches us our mutual connection. Nothing shows more powerfully the duty of every man to look after the needs of others. So said Titus Salt, a Victorian wool baron who worked to put an end to cholera in Yorkshire. It was cholera, as much as the great stink, which led London's masters to build vast sewers, install toilets, and promote hygiene. The liquid diarrhoea and vomit jetted out by a body infected by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae is a reminder, in extreme form, of the danger lurking in the excrement which flows from every human settlement, creating a problem few want to go near. And with the urban population in poor countries soaring, cholera is still a pressing concern. What can be done?
