He discovered that in two particular streets the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days. He was determined to find out why.
Snow began by marking on a map the exact places where all those who died had lived. There were 12. m_______(数量多的) deaths near the water 13. p_____(泵) in Broad Street (especially house numbers16, 37, 38 and 40).

It seemed that the woman liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day. As a result of this evidence, John Snow was able to announce that the pump water carried cholera germs. Accordingly, he had the 17. h_______(手柄) of the pump removed so that it could not be used.

The truth was that the water from the Broad Street pump had been infected by waste.
