...President of the U.S. went into his first post-election press conference the morning after Election Day with his chin high and a jaunty half-smile on his lips, but when he left half an hour later, he was drawn, grey, visibly weary.

This was often caused by the bacilli of bovine tuberculosis-the same bacteria that made the ruff fashionable to hide the swellings of scrofula ("the king's evil").
