It still hasn't faded out. People still believe the stupid stuff.
I would say the Victorian Era. People were still superstitious then, but due to industrialization and science booming, people began to believe more in science than in religion (and superstition). From that point onward, superstitions began to fade away. Of course, in certain parts of the world people are still superstitious.

Superstition 1) People believed that if you sneezed, 'the Devil' would enter your body through your mouth. Of course, this caused people to be absolutely TERRIFIED! But then, a solution was thought of. The Elizabethan people thought that if you said 'God Bless You' after you sneezed, God's power would ward of the Devil! Superstition 2) An eclipse in the night was seen as an omen of evil by Elizabethan people. Superstition 3) It was thought to be extremely bad luck if a black cat crossed your path.

The exchange reveals that medicine in Elizabethan times was often viewed with skepticism and limited understanding. Many medical practices were based on humoral theory and superstition rather than empirical evidence, leading to a reliance on herbal remedies and the authority of traditional healers. Additionally, the discussions around health often reflected social hierarchies, with the wealthy able to access better care while the poor relied on folk remedies. Overall, this period showcased a blend of curiosity and superstition in the approach to health and illness.
it depends what the superstition is, superstition itself is a feeling, something of the mind.
