CURIOUS REMEDY FOR SEA SICKNESS.
At the late meeting of the British Association at
Ipswich, a paper was read " On Sea:Sickness, and a New
foundby J.
successfulAt
kin s Atkinson.
pThero!
the
sPrerivteenr adtihon,"
ee
method whichfor
i t
ventirg sea sickness is as follows:—Let a person on
ship-board, when the vessel is bounding over the waves,
seat himself, and take hold of a tumbler nearly
tilled with water or other liquid, and at the same time
make an effort to prevent the liquid from running over,
by keeping the mouth of the glass horizontal, or nearly
so. W hen doing this, from the motion of the vessel, his
hand acd arm will seem to be drawn into different po-
sitienv, as if the glass were attracted by a powerful
magnet. Continuing his efforts to keep the
mouth of the glass horizontal, let him allow his
hand, arm, aed body to go through the various move-
ments—as those observed in sawing, planing, pumping,
throning a quoit, &c.—which they will be impelled,
without fatigue, almost irresistibly to perform ; and
he will find that this has the effect of pre-
venting the giddiness and nausea that the roll-
ing and tossing of the vessel has a tendency to pro-
duce in inexperiencd voyagers. If the person is suffer-
ing from sickness at the commencement of his experi-
er t, as soon as he grasps the glass of liquid in his
hand, and suffers his arm to take its course and go
through the movements alluded to, he feels as if he were
performing them of his own free will—and the
seesiea abates immediately, and very soon ceases en-
, tirely, and does not return so long as he suffers his
arra and body to assume the postures into which they
seem to bo drawn. Should he, however, resist the
free course of his hand, he instantly feels a thrill of
pain of a peculiarly stunning kind shoot through
his head, and experiences a sense of dizziness and re-
turning nausea. From this la
sit t circumstance
the author of the paper infers as p
that the stomach is primarily affected through the ce-
rebral mass, and he is of opinion that the
.methohe has
d of
pr:vent,ing sea-sickness just described (which
found by experience to bo effectual) depends on the cu-
rious fact that the involuntary motions communicated to
the body by the rolling and tossing of the.vessel are, by
the means he adopts, apparently converted into voluntary
motion.

Snow fell heavily on the mountains of Schytz, in
Switzerland, on the 29th and 30th ult., and half the canton
was covered with snow. This is the first time for the last
fifty years that snout has been seen so early in the season.
