title: The blue epidemic cholera--some aspects of treatment in the mid 19th century.
abstract: Cholera was first recorded in the Indian sub-continent in 1817 from where pandemics reached Europe via trade and pilgrim routes. Notwithstanding the numerous therapeutic methods prescribed, the virulence of cholera remained unabated. This article describes some of the proposed treatment regimes in relation to the assumed pathophysiology.
