I am hoping to do some work on changes in disease patterns in Wantage as
the conditions of the drains improved. ( This may not work out. Its a
working title for a project and will probably end up about something
totally different. ) Has anybody come across a good introduction to the
sort of basic diseases of the nineteenth century - typhus, typhoid that
sort of thing.
At the moment I am fascinated by the fact that smallpox was still a major
hazard long after vaccination had been discovered.
