Everything about Reverend Henry Whitehead totally explained
Reverend Henry Whitehead (
September 22,
1825 -
March 5,
1896) was an assistant
curate at St. Luke's church in
Soho,
London during the
1854 cholera outbreak.
A believer in the
Miasma theory of disease, Rev. Whitehead worked to disprove false theories, eventually focusing on
Dr. John Snow's idea that cholera spreads through water contaminated by human waste. Dr. Snow's work, particularly his maps of the Soho area cholera victims, convinced Whitehead that the
Broad Street pump was the source of the local infections. Whitehead then joined with Snow in tracking the contamination to a faulty cesspool and the outbreak's
index case
Whitehead's work with Snow combined
demographic study with scientific observation, setting important precedent for the burgeoning science of
epidemiology
