This dissertation aims to analyze two of many doctors who worked in medicine, in Parahyba, in the half second nineteenth century, as João José Innocencio Poggi, doctor without a degree, and Abdon Felinto Milanez. From the 1850's decade, people who lived in Parahyba were affected by two epidemics: yellow fever, between 1850-51 and cholera, in 1856 and 1862, when the habits of hygiene were getting in the society, to avoid those diseases reaching more victims. In this context, when the speech about hygiene was taking place, we realized about twoimportantdoctors,InnocencioPoggie Abdon Milanez, both were public health inspectors, besides other jobs that they have had. According to the documentation we have researched, like journals and provincial president reports from the period,weunderstoodthatthosetwodoctorswerepartofthe political life of the Provincial and Empire. They have worked in places that were focused on politics, not just medicine, for example provincial deputy and vice provincial presidente, that kind of behavior emphasizes this as a political culture from this period. The political culture concept will be used by us to indicate common behaviors between doctor's elite in Parahyba, as the concept of representation, to understand the meanings of disease attributed by people who lived in Parahyba. Using the line of historical research and regionalities from the program of masters degree in History based on theoreticalscopeaboutDiseasesandHealthHistory,itwaspossibleto analyze the epidemic scenario in Parahyba, in the half second of nineteenth century, besides the representations about diseases from doctors and other people. We realized, yet, the social networking and political alliances that contribute to show those two doctors in the provincial and national scenarios.
