The cures for disease was worse than the disease. They used strange things and some of it killed the people. Dried mice, herbs, Mercury, and urine were some of the things used. Bleeding was often used because they thought that the blood was bad. Medicine was done through superstition because the Church didn't allow the doctors to really work on the body. It actually wasn't legal until 1835 for a medical school to dissect a body to see the organs. Before this time there was a big trade in stolen bodies.
