In this line, Pierre Louis introduced the numerical method to achieve scientific ‘verification’ of the medical practice – “As to different methods of treatment, it is possible for us to assure ourselves of the superiority of one or other [. . . ] by enquiring if under these circumstances, a greater number of individuals have been cured by one means than another. Here again it is necessary to count. And it is, in great part at least, because hitherto this method has been not at all, or rarely been employed, that the science of therapeutics is so uncertain” [1]. The principal objective pursued through this method was to avoid treatments whose efficacies were not really proven...
