Variations in spelling are common in this book. In the case of medical
terms in which the ligatures ‘æ’ and ‘œ’ could be used, the variations
are numerous and noticeable. Thus we find the terms “hemorrhage”,
“hæmorrhage” and “hœmorrhage” being used interchangeably. Similarly for
“hæmorrhoids” and “hœmorrhoids” and all the words derived from the
foregoing terms.
