 Wabak Beri-Beri mula menular dengan berleluasa pada suku akhir kurun ke-19, dan kebanyakan penghidapnya adalah imigran Cina. Sepanjang waktu itu, puncanya tidak dapat dikenalpasti: //"Beri-beri began spreading like wildfire throughout Malaya during the last quarter of the 19th century. It was particularly prevalent among young Chinese immigrants and, at that time, nobody had any clue of its origin."// (Alan Teh Leam Seng @ New Straits Times, June 16 2021: {{ :akhbar:malaya_led_the_way_in_medical_research.pdf ||}}[[https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2021/06/699154/malaya-led-way-medical-research|"Malaya led the way in medical research"]]).

 Penjara Pudu turut terkesan dengan penularan wabak beri-beri ini, seawal tahun 1895, tidak lama selepas pembukaannya.
 **1895-10-17**: //"INFORMATION FROM BRITISH RESIDENT IN KUALA LUMPUR REGARDING THE DISEASE OUT BRAKE IN THE PRISON FACILITY."// (24/10/1895: {{ :arkib:19570058823d02.pdf ||}}[[https://ofa.arkib.gov.my/ofa/digital/asset/145630|"PUDOH GAOL - BERI-BERI:- CAPTAIN SUPERINTENDENT POLICE, STATE ENGINEER AND RESIDENCY SURGEON TO MEET RESIDENT AT PUDU GAOL ON SATURDAY"]]).
+**1895-11-12**: Laporan akhbar berkenaan wabak taun dan beri-beri: //"During the last few months, the prison authorities - particularly the Medical branch have had an anxious and busy time. Cholera first appeared at the new Gaol soon after the first large batch of prisoners had been transferred to that building. Within a few weeks no less than 128 cases were reported, of which 68 terminated fatally. Shortly after this, the Gaol was connected with the new service Reservoir, and immediately the progress of the disease was checked. Then, without granting any respite to the Medical Officers who had worked manfully against the cholera, an epidemic of beri-beri, of the most virulent type, made its appearance. This has lasted for several months. During September, out of 37 cases there were 13 deaths, while, last month, out of about 60 cases there were only 8 deaths. The prisoners have all been moved back to their old quarters in Kuala Lumpur, and the fall in the death-rate is attributed to this cause. It appears that the Pudoh Gaol is being erected on the site of an old graveyard, and that the excavation work in progress there let loose the contents of a veritable "Pandora's box" amongst the unfortunate inmates. THe choice of the site is very unfortunate; but, there is reason to hope that, when the construction is finished and the premises have been left to "air" a little, the Pudoh climate will be no worse than any other. It is curious to note that the cholera killed very few of the long sentence prisoners."// (Straits Budget, 12 November 1895, Page 5: {{ :akhbar:straitsbudget18951112-1-2-48.pdf ||}}[[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/straitsbudget18951112-1.2.48|"SELANGOR NEWS"]]).

+**1895-11-26**: //"It appears that several hundred prisoners are still quartered at the Pudoh gaol, and that the beri-beri is by no means stamped out. The cholera epidemic was clearly due to the water supply, for only one case occured after the gaol was connected with the Ampang Waterworks, but the beri-beri cannot be disposed of so easily. The gaol is damp, it is built in a graveyard, and the weather has been admirably suited to the requirements of the germ. During 1894, only 16 deaths occured, while in the third quarter of this year, that is to say, from the 1st of July to September 30th, death has released no less than 105 - chiefly short sentence prisoners."// (Straits Budget, 26 November 1895, Page 5: {{ :akhbar:straitsbudget18951126-1-2-48.pdf ||}}[[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/straitsbudget18951126-1.2.48|"SELANGOR NEWS"]]).

 Wabak malaria telah pun melanda daerah Klang seawal tahun 1901. State Surgeon Selangor ketika itu, Dr Malcom Watson, berjaya mengawal wabak ini dengan mengeringkan kawasan paya di situ. Pada tahun 1907, beliau bersara dan meneruskan kajiannya, dan menjadi penasihat kesihatan di ladang-ladang seluruh Selangor: //"It all began at the turn of the 20th century, when the Selangor state surgeon Dr Malcolm Watson started work on malaria control following a serious epidemic that floored many Klang residents. With full government aid and a $30,000 Sanitary Board grant to drain waterlogged swamps, Watson initiated mitigating measures that were met with resounding success both in Klang and Port Swettenham. By 1907, Dr Watson resigned from government service and began devoting more time and study towards malaria. He collected invaluable data and gained new insights into the disease by serving as medical adviser to many rubber estates that were rapidly opening up all over Selangor."// (Alan Teh Leam Seng @ New Straits Times, June 16 2021: {{ :akhbar:malaya_led_the_way_in_medical_research.pdf ||}}[[https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2021/06/699154/malaya-led-way-medical-research|"Malaya led the way in medical research"]]).
