message: This is interesting: the book I'm reading claims James Lind's 1747 study to be the first ever clinical trial, yet Clinical trial#History says that the methodology was first published in 1020.  It's possible that no trials were actually conducted in the intervening 700 years, but I guess assuming so would be synthesis.  Until someone finds a source that claims otherwise, I've given Lind credit for the first trial (and cited my source). --jwandersTalk 00:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Clinical trials in oncology by Stephanie Green, Jacqueline Benedetti, John Crowley suggests that some think first clinical trial was conducted by biblical person Daniel (p.41, see book of Daniel 1:11-16). However Clinical trials in oncology claims that there weren't any clinical trials before 1750 (p.1) and says that Lind's trial was the first, despite "pitifully small sample size" (p. 79-80). So, it just may be right. --Ukas (talk) 00:01, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: James Lind (physician) → James Lind — There is no need to redirect James Lind to James Lind (physician) as there is a disambiguation page and a link to that page on the article. There's also a little link to the redirected page. Its also a pain for anyone who is either using dial-up or a low speed mobile connection. Pisharov (talk) 00:48, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I am doing a project on James and in my text book it says some really interesting facts! For example:
1. People used to eat limes and oranges to cure scury but didn't now why it worked!
2. It was discovered quite a while after that it was vitamin C doing the job.
3. The German didn't get scury as much as the English because they ate sourcrout with there food with contains vitamin C.
Thanks for listening!

thread_title:  Concept of control 

message: I was working on editing and providing a source for where he was buried, and during my research I found an article written about the disappearance of his and his wife's coffin and body from the memorial in which they were buried. The disappearance wasn't discovered until over 50 years after his burial. Just wondering that if this tidbit was edited in, would one have to create a new section of the Wikipedia article or should it be included under "Death"? I'm new to this !
