*[http://www.archaicmedicalterms.com/ Rudy's List of Archaic Medical Terms] A Glossary of Archaic Medical Terms, Diseases and Causes of Death by Rudy Schmidt. Although called a Glossary, the terminology is accessed through a Search Facility, so you need to be exact in the spelling, and there are only limited Lists accessible for free, through "Recent additions and Updates". A donation appears to provide access to actual Lists. In addition to English medical terms, it is possible to search for medical terms in many other languages, including [[German]], [[French]], Latin and [[Dutch]].
