Scurvy: How a Surgeon, a Mariner, and a Gentlemen Solved the Greatest Medical Mystery of the Age of Sail
坏血病：外科医生，水手和先生们如何解决航海时代最大的医学难题
Stephen Bown
斯蒂芬·鲍恩
Scurvy took a terrible toll in the Age of Sail, killing more sailors than were lost in all sea battles combined. The threat of the disease kept ships close to home and doomed those vessels that ventured too far from port. The willful ignorance of the royal medical elite, who endorsed ludicrous medical theories based on speculative research while ignoring the life-saving properties of citrus fruit, cost tens of thousands of lives and altered the course of many battles at sea. The cure for scurvy ranks among the greatest of human accomplishments, yet its impact on history has, until now, been largely ignored. From the earliest recorded appearance of the disease in the sixteenth century, to the eighteenth century, where a man had only half a chance of surviving the scourge, to the early nineteenth century, when the British conquered scurvy and successfully blockaded the French and defeated Napoleon, Scurvy is a medical detective story for the ages, the fascinating true story of how James Lind (the surgeon), James Cook (the mariner), and Gilbert Blane (the gentleman) worked separately to eliminate the dreaded affliction. Scurvy is an evocative journey back to the era of wooden ships and sails, when the disease infiltrated every aspect of seafaring life: press gangs "recruit" mariners on the way home from a late night at the pub; a terrible voyage in search of riches ends with a hobbled fleet and half the crew heaved overboard; Cook majestically travels the South Seas but suffers an unimaginable fate. Brimming with tales of ships, sailors, and baffling bureaucracy, Scurvy is a rare mix of compelling history and classic adventure story.
坏血病在航海时代造成了惨重的损失，杀死的水手人数超过了所有海上战斗的总和。这种疾病的威胁使船只离家很近，并注定了那些冒险远离港口的船只。皇家医学精英的故意愚昧无知，他们基于投机性研究而支持荒谬的医学理论，却无视柑橘类水果的救生特性，使数万人丧生，并改变了海上许多战斗的进程。坏血病的治疗方法是人类最伟大的成就之一，但迄今为止，它对历史的影响一直被忽略。从16世纪最早记载的这种疾病的出现到18世纪，人类幸免于祸害的机会只有18世纪，当英国人征服了坏血病并成功地封锁了法国人并击败了拿破仑时，坏血病是一个古老的医学侦探故事，它是关于詹姆斯·林德（外科医生），詹姆斯·库克（水手）和吉尔伯特·布莱恩（绅士）的真实故事。 ）分别开展工作以消除可怕的痛苦。坏血病是一种追溯到木制船和帆时代的令人回味的旅程，当时疾病渗透到航海生活的方方面面：新闻团伙从酒吧深夜回家的路上“招募”水手；为了寻找财富而进行的一次可怕的航行，以机密的舰队和一半的船员拖到舷外而告终；库克雄伟地穿越南海，但命运却难以想象。充满船舶，水手和莫名其妙的官僚机构的故事，Scurvy是引人入胜的历史和经典冒险故事的罕见结合。
