John Lea (born 27 January 1782, died 3 June 1862, Cincinnati, Ohio〔Find a Grave. (). Retrieved on 09 September 2013.〕), a lay epidemiologist, is most noted today for his contribution to understanding the water-borne nature of cholera.〔Davey Smith, George. ("If data could talk back: Anzia Yezierska, Paul de Kruif and thousands of pages of 'research'" ), ''International Journal of Epidemiology'', Oxford, January 2013. Retrieved on 09 September 2013.〕 Lea's description of an outbreak of cholera in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1849,〔Lea, John. (1850). "Cholera, with reference to the geological theory: A proximate cause - a law by which it is governed - a prophylactic". Cincinnati, OH: Wright, Ferris & Co. Reprinted in (), ''International Journal of Epidemiology'', Oxford, January 2013. Retrieved on 09 September 2013.〕 presaged some of the techniques used later by John Snow in his famous investigation of the 1854 outbreak of cholera in London, England, including a detailed map of the residences of those struck with cholera in relation to their water supply. John Lea's proposed etiological mechanism, more closely aligned with the popular Miasma theory of his day, does not match our current understanding of the microbial nature of cholera; however, his recommended approach to limiting the spread of cholera (using rain water or boiled water) would have been an effective preventive.〔Davey Smith, George.
