#' Cholera cases by week by street - Copenhagen 1853.
#'
#' A dataset of the weekly record of new cholera cases on each street
#' in Copenhagen in the 1853 epidemic. Dataset also includs hospitals
#' and streets from outside the city walls (i.e. Noerrebro). Danish letters
#' in street names have not been convereted to standard English letters.
#' Danish letters in quarter names have been turned into Engilsh letters:
#' oe, ae, aa. Data was manually entered by author from source report.
#'  Please contact author with any errors or typos. NOTE: it is not currently
#'  known if hospital counts are included in the street counts and/or if street
#'  counts are included in the hospital counts. I suspect they are kept separate,
#'  but this is still being investigated.
