> The Library of the Royal College of Physicians
> of Edinburgh and the UK Cochrane Centre are pleased to announce the
> launch of a new website - Controlled Trials from History
> (http:www/rcpe.ac.uk/cochrane)
> The site examines the origin and evolution of
> the RCT by looking at specific examples including Van Helmont's
> seventeenth century therapeutic trial of bloodletting for fevers,
> James Lind's 1747 scurvy trial and the work of later trailblazers such
> as Semmelweiss and Fibiger. Each trial is accompanied, where
> possible, by images of the work's title page and extracts from the
> text.
