Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations on Naval Hygiene and Scurvy: More Particularly as the Latter Appeared During a Polar Voyage The Observations contained in the following pages are not presented as a systematic Treatise on either Hygiene or Scurvy; but as they are of a practical nature, it has occurred to me that they might not prove an unacceptable addition to the knowledge which we at present possess on these subjects. Those on Scurvy have been compiled from the Journal of my Practice, kept during a prolonged period of service in H.M.S. "Investigator," in the Arctic Regions, for which Sir Gilbert Blane's gold medal has been recently awarded to me. With the permission of the present Director-General of the Navy (Sir John Liddell, C.B.), that Journal has been temporarily placed at my disposal.

There is an edition of Roujjetii put down by Mercklin si J and Lipeniusk in the year 1564; arid of Wierius observa* tions in 1567. The learned Dr. AJiruc (/) Is of opinion, that these last were not pub* listied till 1580. It is thus far certain, that those authors corresponded together; and upon Wierus sending to Ronjfeus Ecbthius's letter, now called his Epitome, he published it, together with his own work, Wierus*s observations, and two of Langius's epistles* in the year 1583.

The first contains such as appear at the beginning, and are common to it with other diseases; the second, the succeeding and more certain signs of the malady. Under the first, he comprehends a heaviness of the body, with an unusual weariness, generally most sensibly felt after exercise; a tightness of the breast, and a weakness of the legs; an itching, redness, and pain of the gums; a change of colour in the face to a darkish hue: and observes, that where all these symptoms concur, we may fortel an approaching scurvy.

Book excerpt: In the Age of Sail scurvy was responsible for more deaths at sea than piracy, shipwreck and all other illnesses, and its cure ranks among the greatest of military successes – yet its impact on history has mostly been ignored. Stephen Bown searches back to the earliest recorded appearance of scurvy in the sixteenth century, to the eighteenth century when the disease was at its gum-shredding, bone-snapping worst, and to the early nineteenth century, when the preventative was finally put into service. Bown introduces us to James Lind, the navy surgeon and medical detective, whose research on the disease spawned the implementation of the cure; Captain James Cook, who successfully avoided scurvy on his epic voyages; and Gilbert Blane, whose social status and charisma won over the British Navy. Scurvy is a lively recounting of how three determined individuals overcame the constraints of eighteenth-century thinking to solve the greatest medical mystery of their era.
