Sir Almroth Edward Wright (1861-1947) was a British bacteriologist and immunologist of mixed Anglo-Irish and Swedish descent. He is notable for developing a system of anti-typhoid fever inoculation, recognizing early on that antibiotics would create resistant bacteria, and being a strong advocate for preventive medicine.

Control and the Therapeutic Trial examines the development of the RCT from the eclectic collection of methodologies available to practitioners in the early-twentieth century. In particular, it explores the British Medical Research Co...
