London Death

This is a few centuries too early, but I still thought it was fascinating enough to share: a period report detailing the deaths in a single week in London.
Obviously, the plague is the biggest culprit. There are some intriguing other entries in here as well. "Frightened" claimed 1. "Teeth" took 113. Suddenly, life in the Neath seems even better!

I wonder what the dental equivalent of sorrow-spiders is.

Rising of the lights:
Rising Of The Lights: Generally considered to be croup. However, the Oxford English Dictionary defines it as hysteria and John Graunt (2) suggests that it may be an inflammation of the liver, similar to livergrown (q.v.).

Oh that was an "s". It definitely looked like an "l". Ye Olde fontes is quite confusing.
