Excerpt from Observations on Naval Hygiene and Scurvy: More Particularly as the Latter Appeared During a Polar Voyage The Observations contained in the following pages are not presented as a systematic Treatise on either Hygiene or Scurvy; but as they are of a practical nature, it has occurred to me that they might not prove an unacceptable addition to the knowledge which we at present possess on these subjects. Those on Scurvy have been compiled from the Journal of my Practice, kept during a prolonged period of service in H.M.S. "Investigator," in the Arctic Regions, for which Sir Gilbert Blane's gold medal has been recently awarded to me. With the permission of the present Director-General of the Navy (Sir John Liddell, C.B.), that Journal has been temporarily placed at my disposal.
