For a bit of perspective, an article on Bills of Mortality (that’s DEATH) with an example from the 1700s.

Ahh the good old days where Evil only claimed 36 people.

I think it later became known as The King’s Evil…i.e. scrofula or tuberculous lymph nodes in the neck. Cured, apparently, by the laying on of Royal hands. Obviously, it wasn’t a gua-RON-teed remedy.
