The "milk-sick" came to the Lincoln family

[L Verge]

Just a side comment: I was struck by some of the symptoms of milk sickness being the same as Type I diabetes -- fruity breath, tremors, extreme thirst, slipping into a coma... I realize that an entire village could not suffer from diabetes at the same time. However, it would appear that the disease that took them (and Nancy?) might affect the pancreas also?
