Pioneering work on scurvy by naval physician James Lind (1716-94), who conducted the first deliberately planned controlled therapeutic trial ever undertaken` (G-M 3713). Aboard H.M.S. Salisbury in 1747, he divided twelve scorbutic sailors into pairs, all on identical diets, but additionally the first pair given a daily quart of cider, the second pair twenty-five drops of vitriol, the third pair six spoonfuls of vinegar, the fourth pair half a pint of seawater, the fifth pair two oranges and a lemon, the sixth pair a paste mixed with barley-water. Needless to say only the fifth pair, having run out of fruit after six days, recovered sufficiently to be fit for duty. Although it was known for some time that citrus fruit had an antiscorbutic effect, Lind, although still believing scurvy was the result of putrefaction, was the first to conclude that they were the most effective remedy. As a result of adopting Lind`s recommendations, James Cook lost only one man to the disease on his second voyage 1768-71 and after lemon juice was issued by the Royal Navy in 1795, scurvy soon disappeared.
