Paper, 'The relation of bacteria to Asiatic cholera' by E [Edward Emanuel] Klein

Reference number: PP/6/16

Date: 1885

Description

Klein writes: 'I propose to bring before the Royal Society the results of an inquiry into the etiology of Asiatic cholera, undertaken, at the instance and expense of the Secretary of State for India, by myself, Dr Gibbes, and Mr Alfred Lingard while in India. This investigation will be published in extenso by the India Office, but permission has been granted to us to bring to the notice of the Society some of the more important points of our inquiry, particularly those regarding the relation of bacteria to Asiatic cholera. I shall supplement them by giving the results of further observations which I have made since my return from India.'
