Folios 23-25: Surgeon's general remarks regarding catarrh and bowel complaints appeared almost immediately on their coming on board, the sick list increased while at sea with many and various complaints and among them several cases of inflammatory fever, which one of whom died this patient previous to his transportation was in rather good circumstances and according to the surgeon flattered himself with the hope of having his sentence commuted, however disappointed in this respect and his spirits sunk and from the moment he took ill. On the 17 December scurvy made it appearance and rapidly increased so much so that seventy seven cases of the disease had been under treatment, the principal features of the disease were a debilitated state of body, sallow complexion, spongy and bleeding gums, stiffness and swellings of the joints particularly the knees, eccymosed livid purple and sometimes yellow and greenish blotches on the trunk and extremities. The surgeon's recourse was the vegetable acids and also the solution of nitre in vinegar lately so strongly recommended, to one portion of cases, the lime juice alone was administered in doses of two ounces, three, four or five times in the day.
