This study examines the Korean linguistic differences between the three editions of Duchang Gyeongheombang which is medical book on the Small pustules. The first edition- Gyujanggakbon was published before 1672, the second edition - Sangsanbon was published in 1711. And the third edition is a manuscript which was made in 19th century, it is not introduced. By the results of the study, it suppose that the first edition was published at the between 1650 and 1672. And the first and second edition view the aspect of Modern Korean (the middle of 17th century) and a few dialects. Because the manuscript translated only some parts of original text, there are many differences between the two wood block printings and the manuscript, especially the selection of word and the expression.
