What illnesses did the people of London get from the unsanitary sewage conditions during the industrial rev?

Sewage disposal was historically a problem, causing major pollution of the Thames and potable water supplies. London suffered from major outbreaks of cholera and typhus well into the mid-1800s. The problem was so severe that Parliament was suspended on occasion due to the stench from the river.
