A new disease precursor of cholera

“And godmother dear, how’s your man?”
“How’s he doing? … well, fine, because the poor devil has died.”
“And what did he die from?”
“From disinfection.”
“What kind of disease is that?”
“The one that comes before cholera… people are more afraid of it than cholera itself.”
(Mucha, Warsaw, 1886)
