I can't agree, if this is a book about medicine and not a kindergarten primer, I'd say it makes little sense to draw fire and label it as "fire". Certainly the reader knows what fire looks like.

In a medical book of the time one example could be a text talking about how humors relate to elements, in which case labelling elements for their corresponding humors would be informative. Then fire would be labelled something like "bile", air as "blood", water as "phlegm", etc.

In reality I don't believe we can expect the fire image to be literally labelled as "fire". It is possible, but it's far far from certain.
