For centuries the scurvy was the most deadly disease amongst the sailor's, who waned to go to India. So many times all the sailors might have become dead in the high seas and you do not know. Then the 'Cape of good hope' gave the life to the sailors. They used to get stock of fresh vegetables from there and the scurvy was controlled. Later on the anti-scurvy factor was found out. Now you may find the same disease in lonely elder persons only, probably. You can give them one gram of vitamin C every month, under your supervision and can have nice time for you also.
