Our smartest President, James Garfield, was shot by a lunatic, Charles Guiteau but killed by his Doctor, Doctor Doctor Bliss (Yes, his first name was Doctor) due to his refusal to listen to the new medical discovery of the day by Lister (Listereen) who showed that germs can infect a wound...which is what caused Garfield’s death due to Bliss’s continual search for the bullet with a dirty probe. The bullet wound, if left “untreated” would not have been fatal.
