( sease was a mild form of smallpox but ...)Study Finds That Lincoln Suffered from Smallpox During Gettysburg Speech,Health

sease was a mild form of smallpox, but that may have been to prevent the public from fearing that Lincoln was dying, said Dr. Goldman.

While almost a third of those contracting this serious form of smallpox in the mid-19th century died, fortunately, Lincoln was able to return to his full duties only 25 days after the start of his illness, and lead the country to a successful conclusion in the Civil War of 1865, which led to a reunification of the North and South, and an end of slavery in the US.

According to a physician's contemporary account reported in the study, Lincoln retained his trademark wry and sometimes black sense of humor despite his illness.

The study appears in the current issue of the Journal of Medical Biography.
