On May 20, 1747, British Royal Navy Surgeon James Lind conducted the first modern clinical trial to find a treatment for scurvy. The treatment that had subjects consume two oranges and one lemon per day, for a six day period, proved to have the most rapid and visible effects.
By commemorating this historical day, we honor the patients, doctors, staff, and researchers who participate in clinical trials all over the globe!
