ABSTRACT

The article examines the cholera morbus epidemic that afflicted the province of Pernambuco, Brazil, in 1855, focusing on the medical and scientific controversies about how the disease spread, which split medical opinion into two camps: contagion and infection. Documents and reports produced by the Society of Medicine of Pernambuco and the General Public Health Board were analyzed, based on which it was possible to describe the official medical and sanitation program, involving engineers, scientists, and physicians, designed to plan a salubrious city - a model of civilization that combined redeveloping the urban space and disseminating new habits amongst the local people. It is essentially an exercise in observing a science and a society as they take shape.

ABSTRACT

This is a study of how scientific knowledge reached common citizens in nineteenth-century Portugal, using newspapers as the main source. Despite the population's limited access to written material, each leading newspaper might be read by 30 000 people a day in Lisbon. This made newspapers the most widely available vehicle for the diffusion of the latest scientific information to the general public. With a cholera morbus epidemic affecting the second largest Portuguese town and all the northern regions, as well as the Algarve, reports on the course of the epidemic were considered essential. The author bases her study on a database of news about the disease in 1855 and 1856, especially with regard to prevention and treatment.

ABSTRACT

Faz uma abordagem sobre a construção do Lazareto do Francês para abrigar os doentes acometidos pela epidemia da cólera. Durante os anos iniciais da segunda metade do século XIX, a Província da Alagoas e o Brasil exultavam pelo declínio da epidemia de febre amarela que castigara a Nação. O Presidente da Província, o Dr. Manoel Sobral Pinto, em sua “Falla” dirigida a Assembléia Legislativa no dia 13 de maio de 1853, evidenciava a sua satisfação pelo fato de que “Nenhuma epidemia de caráter assustador se há desenvolvido ultimamente na Província, graças ao Altíssimo, que com a bondosa e onipotente mão afastou de nós o flagelo da febre amarela, resta-nos contudo a bexiga, que com quanto seja combatida constante e efetivamente pela vacina, vai ceifando algumas vidas”. Nos anos seguintes, lamentavelmente, as coisas seriam bem diferentes e muitos piores. Em maio de 1855 a cólera-morbo entrara em nosso país pelo Pará e, no dia 18 de novembro do mesmo ano chegaria a Alagoas atingindo inicialmente a Vila de Piassabussú. No dia seguinte atacaria a Cidade do Penedo, “... de onde a epidemia se expandiu por toda a região sanfranciscana e daí para outras regiões alagoanas, tendo ceifado a vida de mais de 17.000 pessoas”, informa Jayme de Altavila em sua “História da Civilização das Alagoas”. A Antônio Coelho de Sá e Albuquerque, que nomeado Presidente Provincial em 8 de julho de 1854, tomou posse no dia 13 de outubro daquele ano, havendo permanecido no cargo até 13 de abril de 1857 e que foi o 25° Presidente da Província alagoana, coube a ingente tarefa de enfrentar a terrível moléstia originária do delta do Rio Ganges.

ABSTRACT

Samuel Taylor Coleridge suffered from a variety of bowel disorders throughout his life; though a large part of his ailment was caused by his famous opium habit, he continuously sought an organic origin, and on at least two separate occasions, in 1804 and 1831-32, he ascribed his disorders to attacks of "cholera." With Asiatic cholera apparently first reaching England in late 1831, there was considerable argument among both physicians and the general public as to whether it was a distinctly new disease, or merely a severer variation of traditional English cholera, known as "cholera morbus." Coleridge took a particular interest in these discussions. In this paper, we attempt to establish the exact nature of his attacks of illness, and point to the complexities of describing and framing new diseases and bowel disorders in the early nineteenth century.
