Considering medical knowledge in 1900, I would bet that the cause of a great number of deaths were mis-diagnosed.

***Considering medical knowledge in 1900, I would bet that the cause of a great number of deaths were mis-diagnosed.***

Several in my family died of ...”Acute Indigestion.”

When I started having heart pains they thought it was Indigestion. It was a blocked artery (Widow maker they called it)and I dodged a heart attack with a stent.

I bet my kin also died of heart attacks.

Yes, I agree. They still had us full of several vestigial unnecessary organs back then. They didn’t know the appendix is the gi tract’s restart button if you have a big good bacteria die-off, for example. Didn’t really know what the pancreas did either.

Exactly, seems like there was no diabetes in 1900
