Scurvy in the British Mercantile Marine in the 19th century, and the contribution of the Seamen's Hospital Society.

When long voyages in sailing vessels were commonplace, scurvy was a major health hazard in mariners of all nations. The observations of James Lind (1716-94) and others indicated that citrus fruits had both a preventive and curative role in this disease. In the light of this work, by 1800 the disease had been virtually eliminated from Britain's Royal Navy. However, it continued in the merchant navies of all nations until the latter half of the 19th century. In 1867, the Merchant Shipping Amendment Act was passed by the British Parliament largely as a result of a concerted effort by the Seamen's Hospital Society (SHS), one of whose physicians, Harry Leach (1836-79) was the major proselytiser for improved conditions in the merchant service. Examination of the SHS records before and after this event demonstrate a marked reduction in the prevalence of scurvy in the Port of London. Although other factors-such as the introduction of steam ships, which resulted in faster voyages-were clearly important, the compulsory administration of genuine lime juice under supervision in the merchant service seems to have exerted a significant effect.

[A failed attempt at establishing the public policlinic in Cracow in 1907]. / Nieudana proba zalozenia Powszechnej Polikliniki Krakowskiej w roku 1907.

The medical circles were reluctant to the publication of the Statutes of the Society of the Public Policlinic in Cracow; according to the concept of the Policlinic's founders, its purpose was to give free medical assistance to the sick, further education of its members in medical problems and performance of chemical research. The Society was to be joined by professors and assistant professors of the Jagiellonian University as well as hospital ward and laboratory heads. At the meetings held, the physicians objected to having a policlinic established because its activity might threaten the material existence of the physicians themselves. Similarly, prestige aspects spoke as well against having the Policlinic founded because the medical elite were to be treated there, constituting thus a hard competition to the remaining physicians. A strong counteraction of most physicians rendered the performance of this idea impossible.
