		Considered the founder of naval hygiene in England, Lind observed on a ten-week cruise (1746) that 80 seamen of 350 came down with scurvy.
		In his Treatise of the Scurvy (1753) he emphasized the preventive effect of ingesting fresh fruit or lemon juice, thus reviving a practice of Dutch and English seafarers of the 16th cent.
		Lind also improved sanitary conditions aboard ships of the line, advocated the distilling of seawater for drinking purposes on long journeys, and, through his writings on tropical diseases, helped prevent much unnecessary loss of life during British campaigns.

		Lind demonstrated that the burnt taste quickly disappeared on exposure to air, dispensing the need for any additives to the distillation process.
		In 1763, Lind published Two Papers on Fevers and Infections that covered the medical history of the Seven Years War, describing typhus fever in ships and recommending the smoke of wood and gunpowder for disinfecting on board.
		Although the importance of Lind's findings on scurvy were recognised soon after the publication of A Treatise on Scurvy, it was not until more than 40 years later that an official Admiralty order was issued on the supply of lemon juice to ships.

		Lind recommended prevention by including fresh fruit and vegetables in the diet of seafarers and insisted that there should be an issue of fresh lime juice when these were unobtainable - thereby earning all British seamen the nickname of 'Limeys'.
