New Yorker Article About Cholera

The New Yorker has a really interesting article about cholera online:

A mid-nineteenth-century English newspaper report described cholera
victims who were “one minute warm, palpitating, human organisms—the
next a sort of galvanized corpse, with icy breath, stopped pulse, and
blood congealed—blue, shrivelled up, convulsed.” Through it all, and
until the very last stages, is the added horror of full consciousness.
You are aware of what’s happening: “the mind within remains untouched
and clear,—shining strangely through the glazed eyes . . . a spirit,
looking out in terror from a corpse.”
