Question for the masses

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.
