A Treatise of the Scurvy, in Three Parts : Containing an Inquiry into the Nature, Causes, and Cure, of that Disease

Omtale

First published in 1753, this important treatise seeks to provide a thorough account of the nature, causes and treatment of scurvy. James Lind (1716–94) provided the groundwork for later investigations, and his research lent support to the later practice of including the juice of citrus fruit in a sailor's diet.
