I just read a 2006 article online that wanted to insert once again the theory that both Mr. & Mrs. Lincoln suffered from syphilis. However, the article stated that an autopsy was performed on Mary Lincoln and a brain tumor was found. Did I miss something along the way?

I raised the issue of Mary having brain tumor on this Forum last year. Someone (was it Donna?) reported that it is simply not true-she was not found to have one.
