Even a century ago, the Thames River was a reeking sewer for London's raw waste. Nothing gives an intimate portrait of a people like a description of their ablutions. The History of Plumbing, prepared by 'Plumbing & Mechanical Magazine', traces epidemics such as typhus, cholera and bubonic plague to poverty, ignorance and poor plumbing. Prince Edward, Queen Victoria's son, nearly died of typhus. When the royal plumber found the contaminated pipe and fixed it, Edward reportedly exclaimed, 'If I could not be a prince, I would rather be a plumber.'"
