Macbride served for a short time as surgeon's mate on a hospital ship, from which he got an interest in the diseases of seamen, especially scurvy. In 1748 he attended lectures by Alexander Monro (primus) in Edinburgh as well as William Hunter 's lectures on the same subject in London. In 1751 he moved from his native Ballymoney, Scotland, to Dublin, where he joined and read papers before the Medico-Philosophical Society, becoming its secretary in 1762. Macbride advised the use of fresh wort, or infusion of malt, for scurvy. Through a mutual friend his ideas on the subject were communicated in 1762 to William Hunter and Henry Tone, one of the commissioners for taking care of sick and wounded seamen. Nothing much seems to have been done, howev er, and James Lind's suggestion of lemon juice superceded Macbride's proposed cure. His 1764 book Experimental Essays, devoted mostly to his chemical experiments but also printing his essay on scurvy as essay #4, had considerable influence. It went into a number of editions and was translated into French in 1766 and Italian in 1777. In his book Macbride anticipated some of Cavendish's chemical discoveries. See the DNB XII: 424-425. "His career seems to have met only with a limited success until after the publication of Experimental Essays (1764), which secured him a doctorate from Glasgow (prior to this he had no degree) and a European reputation. The work dealt w ith various aspects of a theory that Macbride had developed from Stephen Hales's concept of air. ... Stressing [air's property as a 'cementing principle'], Macbride attempted to apply the idea to medicine. ... He believed that any mixture of animal and v egetable substances with water would ferment, hence the value of a mixed diet. The need for vegetable matter in the diet led to his advocacy of wort (an infusion of malt) in the treatment and prevention of scurvy. This method was favorably reported on by Captain Cook and others" [DSB VIII: 585].
