There is a strong case that Taylor was poisoned and a weaker one that poison was tried on Buchanan.

If you count smallpox infestation as poison then yes. Dr. Luke Blackburn tried it with the consent of Jeff Davis. Did Lincoln's son Willie die due to poison or disease. Pick your conspiracy and take your choice.

Princess Diana once told me that the French still drink that way.
