Why I've Been Poisoned?

Jonathan foltz, the physician who happened to have been a guest at wheatland when the president elect decided to go to washington, accompanied him there. Folt recalled that the party of nine, weary from their journey, ate at the national on the evening of their arrival. They all retired around ten p m. Two hours later, foltz awoke so violently ill that his first thought was, why i've been poisoned? And it wasn't long before all but two of buchanan's travelling companions required foltz's ministrations as well.
