In the literature of the exploration of the Antarctic in the early 20th century, there are many references to ‘medical comforts’. While ‘medical comforts’ was sometimes used as a euphemism for alcoholic beverages, the term, which originated in the army, covered all foods and drinks used for the treatment and prevention of illness and during convalescence. This article describes the use of medical comforts during the Antarctic expeditions of the so called ‘heroic age’. Apart from alcohol, medical comforts included beef extracts, milk extracts and arrowroot. These products were extensively advertised to the medical and nursing professions and to the general public and the Antarctic connection was sometimes used in the advertising. The products were largely devoid of vitamins and their use may have contributed to some of the disease that occurred on these expeditions.

南极探险英雄时代的医疗舒适

在 20 世纪初的南极探险文献中,有许多提到“医疗舒适”。虽然“医疗舒适”有时被用作酒精饮料的委婉说法,但该术语起源于军队,涵盖了用于治疗和预防疾病以及康复期间的所有食品和饮料。这篇文章描述了在所谓的“英雄时代”南极探险期间医疗舒适的使用。除酒精外,医疗保健品还包括牛肉提取物、牛奶提取物和葛粉。这些产品被广泛地向医疗和护理行业以及公众宣传,并且有时在广告中使用与南极的联系。
