[Media Watch] Dedicated followers of fashion

“This is a great excuse to look at some really old books” grinned Iain Milne, Head of Heritage at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (RCPE) as he gingerly opened a copy of an encyclopaedia about the health benefits of water—published in Venice in 1553—and carefully propped it up on a pair of pillows on the table in front of him. The book was one of the oldest volumes on show at Fashionable Diseases, an event on April 6 organised as part of the 2017 Edinburgh International Science Festival.
