Episode description

In the early 19th century, family after family around New York City was contracting Typhoid Fever.  The only common denominator was a soft-spoken Irish cook named Mary.  Her temperament would be tested by an uncouth investigator and his persistence in collecting certain... specimens.  Tinctures, bacilli, hygiene, and a fork-wielding cook in a rage.
