<br/><br/> Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson did not enjoy robust good health. From his childhood he was prone to many of the ailments so common during the eighteenth century, and after he joined the Royal Navy he contracted fevers that further undermined his strength. Nevertheless, he saw more action than most officers, and was often wounded.
