Interesting list. When doing genealogy, I have sometimes wondered what terms on ancestors' death certificates equated to in modern parlance.
One or two odd ones in that list though. Especially considering they've supposedly appeared as causes on a death certificate.
For example: Scrivener's palsy - Writer's cramp
The mind boggles!
