Pillsbury. Details about how he contracted disease?

If anyone wants to know where I picked up my current cold then drop me a line and I'll spill the beans
I just read in a book that acquired the disease in St. Petersburg 1895. Before the tournament. I don´t know how far in advance he arrived, but it doesn´t matter. 23 years just turned :(
He contracted the disease halfway the St. Petersburg tournament, during the 4 days of rest. The doctor informed him of the diagnosis on 6 January 1896. He played the 2nd half of the tournament 1.5/9 much worse than the 1st half when he was leading with 6.5/9. He complained about headaches, insomnia, and neurosis.
All the things you bought for her, putting up your temperature. Pump it up, until you can feel it. Pump it up, when you don't really need it.
