Physical health
As president Arthur was extremely active. To alleviate his stress he too late evening walks that usually began after 1 AM. He rarely went to bed before 2 AM. However, by 1883 he was suffering from hypertensive heart disease and glomerulonephritis. Officially, Arthur was said to have a cold. In April he took a vacation to Florida for some rest and relaxation. The trip was cut short when he was hit with severe pain. The White House criticized the media's sensationalism on the matter and blamed the illness on over exposure and ness. In October it was finally revealed to the press that Arthur had been diagnosed that summer with Bright's disease.

In a private conversation shortly after James G. Blaine's nomination for the 1884 presidential election Arthur confided in Frank B. Conger that his disease was in an advanced stage and he only had a few months to live.
