Hi Kathy,

Here's a link to a helpful site called "Archaic Medical Terms."
http://www.paul_smith.doctors.org.uk/ArchaicMedicalTerms.htm

Under "canker": Any skin ulcer or sore but as the derivation of the word
is the same as that for cancer it may suggest skin cancer

Under "Throat Fever": Probably diphtheria

Good luck!
