 Understanding Anemia: Chapter 1
While today the concept of the circulation of the blood seems obvious, it was not until the relatively recent era of the seventeenth century that William Harvey determined that blood was not just a contained static liquid.

The era of modern hematology is considered to have begun at Harvard Medical School with the work of George Richards Minot (1885-1950) and his assistant, William Parry Murphy (1892-1987), who, between 1924 and 1926, found that patients who suffered from pernicious anemia could be successfully treated with large quantities of raw liver in their diets.
