    Flu, TB, Smallpox, Syphilis, common cold. All the usual.

    Rickets although I would say that this was more of a condition.

    YMMV.

    Cheers,

    Yellow fever, malaria, scurvy, beri beri and plague if you were in the British navy. I believe I read somewhere that more people died of pneumonia in the 1800's than anything else.
