"The other was the best recovered in his condition; and being now pretty well, was appointed nurse to the rest of the sick. Next to oranges, I thought the cyder had the best effects"

About this Quote

This quote is from James Lind's book, A Treatise of the Scurvy, which was published in 1753. In the quote, Lind is talking about the results of oranges and cyder on the health of sailors who were suffering from scurvy. He keeps in mind that one of the sailors was the best recuperated in his condition, and was appointed nurse to the rest of the ill. Lind then goes on to state that he thought the cyder had the very best impacts, next to oranges. This suggests that Lind believed that both oranges and cyder had favorable effects on the health of the sailors, and that cyder was almost as advantageous as oranges. This is an essential insight into the treatment of scurvy in the 18th century, and it is clear that Lind was a pioneer in the field of nutrition and health.
