[There can be no doubt that both planters and ship’s crew suffered severely from scurvy.  The conditions all favored it, the sailors were familiar with it, and would not be likely to be mistaken in their recognition of it, and Dr. Fuller, their competent physician, would not be likely to err in his diagnosis of it.  Tuberculosis was its very natural associate.]
