Enjoyed the quiz, nice idea! One quibble: The term "fatty liver" (excess fat deposited in the liver) is still used, and is different from cirrhosis (scar tissue).

Good quiz, I have a feeling many people will get a few from having played the Oregon Trail series of games.

Great game. I've heard all these words and didn't know what most of them meant!

I feel a touch of the vapors coming on, seeing how poorly I did on this quiz. But I loved it!

Nice quiz. I'd accept "TB" for "tuberculosis".

er dropsy is not specifically congestive heart failure but just generally fluid retention known as oedema

Apparently because I like this quiz about archaic terms for diseases, I'll also like guessing Crayola Crayon Colors. Intresting how the Sporcle mind works.
