Answer
John Snow's work mainly improved the health of the general public. He was a British physician and epidemiologist who is considered the father of modern epidemiology. His work on the 1854 Broad Street cholera outbreak in London led to the realization that cholera was spread through contaminated water, and not by "miasmas" or "bad air" as was previously believed.
