Does anyone know of a good source of translation for 18th and 19th century references to medical problems and treatments? We are cataloguing a large collection of family manuscripts and are looking for a way to better describe things like "blister plasters," "chilblains," "dyspepsia," and various "nervous conditions"... web resources would be great! Thanks!
