In the 1800s, people had diseases such as cholera, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, smallpox, and malaria. Poor sanitation, contaminated water, and overcrowded living conditions contributed to the spread of these diseases and medical knowledge was limited during that time - best explain what caused these diseases.
