Brilliant, Bill. Indeed it was President Nixon.

I'll guess Washington's at Mt. Vernon.

Kudos, Joe is correct. Joe, you win a bucket of fish from the lake. (And thanks to Bill Binzel for taking and sharing the photo.)

Who was the last sick/dying American President to be treated with the medical practice called bloodletting?

I don't know which President, but we taxpayers have been enduring this for years.
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

King Leopold II died of that end of the 18th century, and I would think at that time the method was about to fade. I'd guess Washington.

Good try, Eva, as Washington was treated in this manner. Roughly 40% of his blood was drained!! However, he was not the last President to be treated with the bloodletting.

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
Very interesting about Washington losing almost 40% of his blood, Roger; I didn't realize it was that much.
I will guess Benjamin Harrison? Or maybe, Zachary Taylor? Taylor passed away in 1850, perhaps bloodletting was more popular at that time. Harrison did not become president until 1889. I know Benjamin Harrison's grandfather, President William Henry Harrison, refused the bloodletting procedure. William Henry Harrison was the first US President to die in office. |

Excellent, Paige! It was Zachary Taylor who was the last to have the procedure. With Taylor the doctors also tried blistering his skin. Taylor passed away on July 9, 1850.
I cannot think of a prize for this type of question so you just win best wishes for health and happiness! |

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
I posed this trivia question while commenting on the new book, The President is Dead!, but never got an answer:
Where is Thomas Jefferson's original tombstone located today? |
