They had a common diet—two were ordered a quart of cyder a day—two, elixir vitriol three times a day—two, 2 spoonfuls of vinegar three times a day—two were put on a course of sea water—two had 2 oranges and one lemon each day—two, nutmeg, garlic and other additives to barley water. The consequence was, that the most sudden and visible good effects were perceived from the use of the oranges and lemons with one being at the end of 6 days fit for duty.JAMES LIND 1747, A (SUMMARISED) ACCOUNT OF SCURVY SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd CY - Sydney, Australia Y2 - 2024/10/04 UR - murtagh.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1157206349 ER -
