I think it was always called a cold. There may have been less of an inclination to diagnose it as a stand-alone condition, and it may have been more often seen as an accompanying sympton of a greater, more threatening disease.

By the way, an "ague" is a fever, and the "grippe" is influenza. They can be associated with colds in some circumstances, but they are not the same thing.
