A silver prosthetic nose from the mid-19th century. Syphilis caused the destruction of the nose, which gave rise to 18th-century 'No-nose clubs'. This one was worn by a woman who had lost hers to the disease.

"No-nose Club"

Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe wore one because of syphilis. He would eventually die because he didn't have the sense to go to the bathroom before dinner (and it was rude to get up in the middle of dining) and his bladder burst.
