Shortest Presidency!

William Henry Harrison, the ninth president of the United States, holds a refinement that with fortunes will never be risen to: He was our briefest serving president, passing on April 4, 1841, after only a month in office.

What killed him?

 Students of history have since quite a while ago acknowledged the conclusion of Harrison's specialist, Thomas Miller: "pneumonia of the lower projection of the correct lung, complicated by a clog of the liver."

The pneumonia was believed to be immediate after effect of a chilly the 68-year-old Harrison discovered while conveying a numbingly long Inaugural Address (at 8,445 words, the longest ever) in wet, freezing climate without a cap, jacket or gloves.

Yet, another take a gander at the proof through the perspective of current the study of disease transmission makes it significantly more probable that the genuine executioner snuck somewhere else — in a foul swamp not a long way from the White House.

The primary hint that the pneumonia determination wasn't right lying in Miller's own particular obvious uneasiness with it. "The malady," he stated, "was not seen as an instance of unadulterated pneumonia; but rather as this was the most tangible fondness, the term pneumonia managed a compact and coherent response to the endless inquiries with regards to the idea of the assault."

Harrison — who had some medicinal preparing as a young fellow — summoned Miller to the White House on March 26, grumbling not of a lung disease but rather of uneasiness and exhaustion. Mill operator did not drain him, similar to the standard treatment for pneumonia at the time. (More about what he did in a minute.) But Miller may understand that was before his nose.
