Epidemiology.

John Snow. Stopped Cholera Epidemic in London (1855) by Removing Broad
Street Pump.

That's the basis for much of our medical investigation. The classic
case was a cholera outbreak in London, where they stuck a pin in a map
where every death occured during the 1855 epidemic.

The pins formed a circle around the Broad Street Pump.

One night, they crept over and removed the handle from the pump and
the cholera deaths stopped. The women simply turned back when they saw
the Broad Street Pump was non-operational.

They had no idea why but they know it worked.

Now simply ask any dentist if the patterns of decay have changed.
