The article describes how cholera spread through a village and how it was prevented. Women carried the cholera germs home in the water, flies carried them on their feet, and unwashed hands spread them too. The author teaches people to always wash their hands with soap and safe water after going to the toilet and to dig latrines far from the river, at least 30 meters away, and always wash and peel food, cook it, and eat it hot and protected from flies.
