AB On  the  20th  of  May  1747  on  board  the  Salisbury  at  sea  I  took  12  patients  in  the  scurvy  with  putrid  gums,  the  spots  and  lassitude  and  weakness  of  their  knees.  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
