In the context of the tweet above, THIS is EVIL 
(Don't wish to cause disappointment, but it's King's Evil – tuberculosis in the lymph nodes, which could be cured by the touch of a King or Queen. But sadly for those in this Bill of Mortality, they stopped doing it in 1714.)pic.twitter.com/oFHGJzxRAp
Wormes. What a way to go. Is this of your doing?
I want the modern day definition of these please—I’m researching a novel
Always best to take advice from a qualified doctor 
but 'headmoldshot' and 'horseshoehead' were (incorrectly) attributed if a baby died and the bones of its skull weren't fully formed (in fact, perfectly normal).
I think mortification probably means gangrene doesn’t it? I prefer to think someone might actually have died from using the wrong fork at the vicar’s afternoon tea.
What is Horshoehead?!
Horseshoehead and Headmouldshot were attributed as cause of death when a newborn died and the bones of their skull had either gaps or overlaps. We now know this to be perfectly normal.
Serious question: No suicides in 1721? Or did that go under "Lunatick"? Or possibly nobody could ever get around to killing himself because there were so many other things killing people back then?
Almost certainly 'Lunatick' because families might bribe the coroner not to record suicide – it was illegal and meant property was forfeited, and victim given a non-Christian burial at a crossroads.
