National Hotel disease

The National Hotel epidemic was a mysterious sickness which afflicted persons who stayed at the National Hotel in Washington, D.C. beginning in early January 1857.〔"The Washington Epidemic", ''New York Daily Times'', March 23, 1857, pg. 2.〕 At the time, the hotel was the largest in the city.〔Redman, Brian Francis (2009). "What Would Millard Do?", ''Findings of the Friends of Millard Fillmore'', pg. 53.〕 By some accounts, as many as 400 people became sick and nearly three dozen died.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Office of the Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives )
The illness was considered by some medical experts to have originated from an attempt to poison hotel boarders. It affected mostly patrons of the hotel's dining room and not those who frequented the bar.〔 It began to spread more noticeably by the middle of January 1857.〔 New cases of the illness began to decrease in number by the end of January 1857 and continued to abate until the middle of February. When the numbers of guests increased for the presidential inauguration of March 4, 1857, the sickness returned again forcefully.〔
==Symptoms==
The National Hotel epidemic manifested itself as a persistent diarrhea, which was often accompanied by an intense colic. Victims experienced sudden prostration along with nausea. The tongues of patients generally indicated an inflammation of the mucous membranes of their stomachs. Sufferers often complained of recurrences of symptoms even after leaving the National Hotel.〔 Aside from a sudden onset of diarrhea, which happened generally in the early morning, vomiting occurred after the diarrhea ceased.
Major George McNeir, 64, of Washington, D.C., dined at the National Hotel at the time of the first outbreak of the epidemic. Dr. Jas J. Waring was among the physicians who performed an autopsy on McNeir. He was the only person whose body was subjected to a post-mortem examination after dying from the sickness. Waring stated that there was no incubation period before the onset of McNeir's illness. He was affected by the time he went to bed following dinner and the symptoms never left him until his death.〔''National Hotel Epidemic'', American Journal of Medical Sciences, January 1858, Volume 69, Issue 1, pg. 97.〕
