"The consequence was, that the most sudden and visible good effects were perceived from the use of oranges and lemons; one of those who had taken them, being at the end of 6 days fit for duty"

This quote is from James Lind's 1753 book, A Treatise of the Scurvy. In it, he describes the results of his experiment to evaluate the impacts of oranges and lemons on sailors struggling with scurvy. The quote suggests that the effects of the oranges and lemons were immediate and remarkable. After just 6 days of taking in the citrus fruits, one of the sailors had the ability to go back to task. This suggests that the oranges and lemons had an effective result on the sailor's health, which they could be used to deal with scurvy. This was a revolutionary discovery at the time, and it assisted to transform the way that scurvy was dealt with. It also assisted to enhance the health of sailors and other people who were susceptible to the illness.
