[The cholera epidemic in Spanish legislation, 1833 and 1834: the application of a method].

The problem of the cholera epidemic in two Royal Orders of 1833 and 1834 is analized. To do so, the author applies a method know as "the topology of discourse" with which he attempts to get to know the underlying conceptual basis in the discursive manifestation of the text under analysis. Two notions, antagonism and complementary are the main instruments employed by this method.
