“The British Medical Journal (BMJ) chose “the sanitary revolution” – connecting people’s homes both to clean piped water and to sewers to dispose of their waste – as the most important medical milestone since 1840.

They thought it was more important than antibiotics, vaccination or the discovery of the structure of DNA."
