Honest Abe Pox

From MSNBC:

Abraham Lincoln might have been in the early stages of a life-threatening type of smallpox when he delivered his Gettysburg Address, lauded as one of history's greatest speeches and an archetype of genius brevity.

The speech's powerful first words — "Four score and seven years ago ..." — belied a weak and dizzy President Lincoln, concludes a new study.


I think this is a little difficult to diagnose seven score and three years later.
