Scurvy is actually a vitamin c deficiency. Sailors often suffered from this due to lack of fresh Oranges or lemons on board. Tuberculosis was a bacterial infection of mostly the lungs. Tumors would grow in the lungs. Back in the day around 1920 doctors use to remove ribs to deflate the lungs to help them heal. But back then they did not have the medicine so over a million people died.
