‘Something Terrible’: The Odour of Contagion, Montreal 1885
|
| Abstract |
Associating bad odours with disease, middle-class residents of Montreal in 1885 braced themselves for a new outbreak of cholera. Instead, Montreal was hit with a smallpox epidemic, and residents, ignorant of the true cause of the disease and the effective use of vaccination against it since the 1790s, fought the epidemic by trying to rid the city of its stench.
