MEDLARS is a much, much, much, much richer source of medical research. An example is that when my husband entered "ascorbates + parkinsons" in MEDLINE he got no hits for the past 4 years. When he entered the same search in MEDLARS he got 24 hits. Then he went back to MEDLINE and typed "your ass with both hands" and hit the FIND button. No hits -- sure enough, MEDLINE couldn't find its ass with both hands. Go to http://www.gratefulmed.com for information on MEDLARS. It isn't free but it is set up so that the search time itself is all you're charged and the average search costs $2. Hope I don't offend anyone. It's my husband who's so crude, you see....
