In this colonial newspaper article, R. Tytler gives us an overview of the health issues within India and how British colonials could avoid the possible vectors for the disease. Though not dealing with the health of London, this letter to the editor highlights the risk of cholera within the British Colonies. Including this document within this section not only gives us an overview of the colonial project within the scope of public health, but also allows us to understand a more overt othering process happening to the colonized in relationship to the representatives of the British metropole. Doing so, I hope to showcase the more nuanced movement happening within public health documents within London, noting the similarities between the poor, sick, and disenfranchised and the coloniozed subjects in India.
