I had to actually look it up.  Thanks for the nudge! I'm sure I must
have learned this once, long ago.
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Henry_Harrison#Death_and_funeral
 The interesting thing about this description of his illness and death, is all
the ridiculous medical treatments they used for what we'd probably
understand now as pneumonia -
 * laxative
* mustard plaster to the stomach
* bloodletting
* etc.

The Wiki article later mentioned that the White House water supply was likely tainted by sewage.
