Scurvy. Lack of vitamin C can also result in frequent nose bleeds.

Scurvy is the main one. It's not very common now, but it was a big problem back when sailors would be off at sea for months with no access to fresh fruits or vegetables.

Lack of vitamin C leads to scurvy. (That's why British sailors ate limes, and were called "Limeys".)
