And syphilitic.

Cursitor Doom may well have tertiary syphilis - it only affects about 2% 
of those who get infected, and affects a variety of organs. When it goes 
to the brain it causes General Paralysis of the Insane, which occupied 
most of the lunatic asylum beds back then. Watering can scrotum was 
another manifestation.

There are plenty of others. Henry the Eighth died of one of them.
