CURIOUS 'REMEDY FOR SEA SICKNESS.
At the lato meeting of the British Association at
IpsWich, a paper was read " On Sea:Sickness, and a New
Remedy for its Prevention," by J.
_Atkinson. The
method which the writer had found successful in pre-
venting 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 tumhler nearly
tilted 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. When doing this, from the motion of the vessel, his
hand arAl arm will se( m to bo drawn into different po-
sitiono, as if .the gia,s were attracted by a powerful
magnet. Continuing his efforts to keep the
mouth of alto glass horizontal, lot him. allow his
hand, arm, and body to go through the various move-
ments—as those observed in sawing, planing, pumping,
throwing a quoit, &c.—which they will be impelled,
without fatigue, almost irresistibly to perform ; and
he will find that this bas 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-
ment, 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, ha feels as if he were
performing them of his own free will—and the
nausea abates immediately, and very soon ceases en-
tirely, and does not return so long as he suffers his
arm and body to assume the postures into which they
seem to be 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 last circumstance
the author of the paper infers it as probable,
that the stomach is primarily affected through the ce-
rebral mass, and he is of opinion that the method of
preventing sea-sickness just described (which he has
found by experience to be effectual) depends on the cu-
rious fact that the involantary motions communicated to
the body by the rolling and tossing of the vessel are, by
the means he adapts, apparently converted into voluntary
motion.
