Be glad you do not live in the 15th century. This may be why some people came to America.

Those diseases sound pretty nasty. I think I'd rather be Murthered at Stepney.

Rising of the lights was an illness or obstructive condition of the larynx, trachea or lungs, possibly croup. It was a common entry on bills of mortality in the 17th century. Lights in this case referred to the lungs.

I wonder if "griping in the guts" means food poisoning due to unsanitary conditions and unsafe food storage.

Another post claims that one was ulcers. 🤷

If you’re going to do it, quote it correctly. It’s “I’m not half the man I used to be. There’s a shadow hanging over me, oh Yesterday came suddenly.”

I think the most ominous might be the 113 people that died to "Teeth". It leaves me with more questions than answers.

„In London during the 1600s, dental infections were listed as the fifth or sixth leading cause of death. Even up until 1908, dental infections still ended in death between 10 to 40 percent of the time.“ (https://www.healthline.com/health/dental-and-oral-health/how-long-until-a-tooth-infection-kills-you#:~:text=In%20London%20during%20the%201600s,infection%20is%20now%20extremely%20rare.)

It's both diseases and deaths, not just deaths.

Probably either a bad cavity/bad tooth that led to an infection, or an infection post-extraction.

I don’t have the faintest inkling what “rifing of the lights” is supposed to mean. Is it a euphemism of some kind?
