  1. Love how they grouped up cancer and wolves. Also, teeth? King’s Evil?

  2. I didn’t know I could die from my sciatica :/

    King’s evil is scrofula I think.

  3. If you think some of these are bad, check out Victorian asylum records that detail why a person was committed.

    I had to study some for my History Masters. One dude was categorized as a “public eater”.

  4. Assaults,stabbings and shootings didn’t make the top 20 then…….

  5. “Affrighted” is that “scared to death! “

  6. Da fuck is consumption? Where they cannibalised?
