<< Dear List,
We are still looking for a source/dictionary to help determine what the
original names i.e.. Eucaine Hydrochloride, Aloin compound, Anti Pyrine, etc.
are and what they where intended to remedy. We have tried
http://palimpsest.sanford.edu/lex ,
//humanities.uchicago.edu/forms_unrest/webster.form.html and other "old"
dictionaries without luck. Any sources out there?
Thanks,

Dave >>
