Twelve Sailors and One Boy: What Two Trial Reports Claimed

How far did James Lind's report of 1753 and Edward Jenner's Inquiry of 1798 claim more than the trials they describe could show? The modern summaries keep the right separations between trial, report and later policy, yet they also sharpen details the actors left vague. The article does not decide whether either author claimed too much; it shows where each claim stands against its evidence.
