Another one is www.paul_smith.doctors.org.uk/ArchaicMedicalTerms.htm or you can just google. I've found the main difficulty is in reading the word, not finding out what it means!

I have found a website useful when trying to interpret the cause of death on the death certificates I have received. It lists the archaic term for the names of illnesses that we use today. www(.)antiquusmorbus(.)com/English/EnglishP(.)htm
