James Cartier, bold French mariner, as early

America, and was first among the discoveries to
enter the River ST. Lawrence. On his return
down the river, he found his men sadly affli cted
and disabled by whit sailors call the scurvy.-
Its rayages were fatal and the survivors were
scarcely able to bury the dead. Some of the In
dams along the shore were likewise attacked by
the same disea Sc, but Cartier observed that they
soon recovered. lie therefore earnestly inquired
about their mode of treatment, and they pointed
out to him 4 tree, the bark and leaves of which
they used in decoction, with signal success. Car
tier tried the same remedy, and had the gratifca-
ton of seeing all OF his crew who were afflicted,
rapidly improving. This tree ras the White Pine
