Actually in our old (like 18 years ago old!) Arduin/D&D game, healing spells
worked just that way.   A Cure Light Wounds healed something like 25% of
your total.   So if you had 100 hit points a cure light wounds would restore
25 hit points.  And more powerful healing spells had a higher percentage.

How to bring this back on topic...

Well I've been out of Deadlands for quite some time now, but I am coming
back!  Anyway, what types of healing exist in Deadlands, if any?

Thanks!

Take care,
