"Scurvy, Past and Present" by Alfred F. Hess is a study of one of the oldest diseases - scurvy. The author draws on historical sources, scientific research and anecdotes to unravel the mysteries of this painful condition, which was especially common among sailors in the Middle Ages and manifested itself due to a lack of vitamin C. Hess's work opens the reader not only to the scientific aspects of scurvy, but also tries to reveal its cultural and social importance in the past and the present."
