Answer:

John Snow

Step-by-step explanation:

Until a mother washed her baby's diaper in a town well in 1854 and triggered an epidemic that killed 616 people, British doctor John Snow couldn't persuade other doctors and scientists that cholera, a deadly disease, was spread when people drank contaminated water.
