Question for the masses

[trixtah]

Anyone on my flist know of an online glossary of medical terms and drug names in pre-20th Century usage?

It's not for me, since it's one area I'm geeky on - it's more that if there's a gap, I think it'd be a fun one for me to fill. While it's easy enough to do a search for prussic acid online and find MSDSes for hydrogen cyanide, or learn what lancets were used for, I think some cross-referencing would be groovy, as well as some background information on the drugs/procedures/instruments concerned.

For some reason I didn't have these in my delicious bookmarks, but I do now: http://del.icio.us/Skud/medicine

Oooh, thank you for those! And, yay, neither of them quite have the coverage/focus I was thinking of, although I think the Maturin stuff is really comprehensive considering they were only looking at terms in the P O'B opus.

I want to cover a narrower topic range, with more burbles, and lots of linky goodness. We'll see how far I get. :-)
