How we suceed healing our village

Last week I decided to start learning how we avoid feber and disease in comparison to other times. The period of time I had chosen to compare it is the industrial revolution and the consequences it brought I also decided to read a text called "Health" that is were I got information of.

The industrial revolution started in Great Britain. It ocurred approximately in 1770. It was a period of time that determinated how we live today. Many things happened in this period not so huge in comparison with the big machines,inventions and ideas of that period. To resume people moved from their villages to the big cities to work because the new fabrics and the news oportunities of jobs were there. People migrated from the country to the big towns for jobs but as the cities weren't prepared, people who couldnt pay a better home for their families had to share the house with many people. In generall the houses were only one room with one bathroom.  This is one of the very important reasons of ill people on that period and why in generall they die before they were forty. The disease which caused most deaths was tuberculosis, wich its carried in stuff rooms by the moisture of the air. The pacient could have a high temperature and then sickness.

Another common and very tragic disease was colera. More than half people who suffered this disease died. Often this feber is carried by drinking water. Some reasons of people suffering this diseases were:

-Poor houses

-A shortage of pure water

-A lack of sewers and decent lavatories

-Badly fedness and badly clothed for poor people

-Dirt and lice

- Not enough water for washing

Unfortunately poor people couldnt pay a doctor but for rich people or people who can pay it it wasnt a quite difference because doctors didnt understand so much about bacterias,germs and the diseases. Luckily as early 1798 Jenner found how to vaccinate against smallpox, and in 1864 Pasteur proved that germs caused disease and for our happiness after that many scientists discovered many other cures for febers and diseases. Progressively towns turned healthier, people started wearing better food,wearing better clothes,they get cleaner,they were being more consient about diseases and many others things that took years but they finally are here. At once Public parliament passed a public health Act and this brought as a consequence that people spent money on waterworks and sewers. 

As time passed people started to have pure water, that sewers were connected to drains, they started having indoor taps and water-closets.

 And time passed and this is in a way how we are now because we suceed on health,cleanness,clothing and in generall being conscient of what is happening to our body!
