Tonight I was turning the TV stations because I could not find anything
interested in. There was the Lewis and Clark Expedition on one channel
and it said one sentence "the men contracted syphillis and M. Lewis
prepared a mercury sauve for the men...(or words to that affect)" before
I turned to another station. I could not find anything interesting so
turned the TV off.

And so I had that sentence ringing in my head. I did not want to watch
Lewis and Clark because I had seen it before and life to me is too short
to see many repeats.

But as that rung in my head, the thought occurred to me, hey, if Lewis
was in much contact with mercury, perhaps that is the reason he lost his
mind at the end and committed suicide.

So I put the question to medicine if you have too much mercury in the
body, can it lead to depression and heavily suicide nature? And perhaps
we can have an autopsy on Merriwether Lewis body to find out if he
succumbed to mercury poisoning. Perhaps it can account for several
strange behaviours of Lewis during the trek but obvious at the end.
