Answer:

In the overcrowded tenements of the industrial cities, one infected person could spread the disease very easily. Though accurate records are difficult to acquire, it is believed that TB killed one-third of all those who died in Britain between 1800 and 1850. Microbes were only discovered in 1864 by Louis Pasteur.
