Blood ghosts was a very serious ailment

Nothing a little bit of cocaine couldn't cure though!
Here are some other old timey ailments copious amounts of drugs have probably been prescribed to help with:

"Victorian Vaporspasm":
"A peculiar ailment causing sudden spasms of exaggerated fainting spells, triggered by exposure to scandalous literature or the sight of exposed ankles. Afflicted individuals are often found clutching their chests dramatically and gasping for imaginary smelling salts."

"Edwardian Equestrian Eruption":
"A condition believed to be contracted from overindulgence in horseback riding, resulting in eruptions of miniature horseshoes from the skin. Sufferers are often seen galloping about in a frenzy, leaving behind a trail of hoofprints."

"Georgian Gentry Gout":
"A disease exclusive to the aristocracy, causing an inexplicable craving for cucumber sandwiches and tea served in fine china. Symptoms include a sudden aversion to the common folk and an uncontrollable urge to speak in haughty tones."

"Regency Rumor Rash":
"An affliction characterized by a rash of outlandish rumors spreading across high society like wildfire. Sufferers find themselves at the center of scandalous tales involving secret trysts, stolen jewels, and dastardly plots, whether true or not."

"Napoleonic Noodle Nonsense":
"A bizarre disorder resulting in the uncontrollable urge to recite military strategies and issue orders to imaginary troops. Those afflicted may be found marching through the streets, brandishing makeshift swords and declaring war on unsuspecting pigeons."
