SCURVY
IN the primitive days the people
stayed on or close to, the shore.
Later they started crossing the
oceans in Windrigger ships. These
trips lasted for months at a time
because of the Slowness of the ships
and the caprices of the winds. The
large sails which had to be cared
for required a large crew. These
men were fed poor rationS to save
the company money and mutinies
we're common on that account. An
other reason for the salt water bis
cults and hardtack which were the
rations served the sailors was that
they saved space. Space was valu-
able as the ships cargo was always
the maximum because of the ship
owners greed. AS almost every one
knows if person goes without fresh
fruit for period of months he de-
Velops scurVy. That scurvy broke
out on almost every ship and killed
some of the crew was not to be
wondered at. Gradually as the ships
made longer and longer voyages and
ScurVy became more and more wide
ly known it was called the 'scourge
of the seven seas.
Remedy Found
Apparently there was no remedy
for it, the only things known about
it was that it was not CONTAGIOUS
and that it always appeared on long
voyages. Finally science put two
