London, Mar 6 (ANI): A cure for scurvy - disease resulting from a deficiency of Vitamin C - was discovered nearly 50 years before physician James Lind came up with a treatment.
A newly discovered handwritten book has pointed that Ebot Mitchell concocted a remedy in 1707 - some 46 years before Lind realised vitamin C could cure the condition.
According to the newly discovered tome, the disease which was the scourge of sailors for centuries could be cured with the help of extracts from various plants mixed with a plentiful supply of orange juice, white wine or beer.
Had the remedy been known earlier in the 18th century, it could have saved thousands of lives, reports The Telegraph.
