Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he origin of said sickness is deemed to be the date it first becomes manifest or active or when there is a distinct symptom or condition from which one learned in medicine can with reasonable accuracy diagnose the disease.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““As argued by plaintiff, we agree that sickness’ is a variable term. However, we believe it is used genetically in describing a diseased condition, illness or ill health; also, that the word ‘condition,’ as used to describe a state of being, is used synonymously with ‘sickness’ in discussing and construing an insurance policy. Both words must be read in context and taken in their ordinary and popular sense, as so used.” 37 Ill. App. 2d 493, 497 , 186 N.E.2d 89, 91 .”
