The following site covers old medical terms. It also has information on epidemics, poisons, medical symbols, etc. It's pretty interesting. You can even figure out what the doctor writes on your prescription. http://www.paul_smith.doctors.org.uk/ArchaicMedicalTerms.htm Thanks to Cheryl of Marion County for this link.
