Summary/Abstract: The article presents three examples from the writings of the French émigré — Father Pochard. Through individual tuberculosis, the smallpox epidemic on a village scale and then the interna- tional cholera pandemic observed in Poland, the article shows the reactions of contemporaries. 190 years after the passage of the second cholera pandemic in Poland, it is interesting to note that the health policy of the authorities, but also the individual and collective reactions, closely looked like those we experience today in Europe affected by the second wave of Covid-19.
