Treatment of Seasickness.

The French physiologist, Dr. Dastre, has been making curious experiments with anil mals with the object of determining the causes of seasickness. The creatures have been subjected to various kinds of motion corresponding to the rolling and pitching of vessels. Dr. Dastre found, on examination. that the intestines were thereby strangely displaced and violently thrown against the diaphragm, and he presumes that similar disturbance produces seasickness on board of a ship. To counteract this irritation, Dr. Regnault is stated to have administered. cocaine with excellent results. Another French physician, who attributes seasickness to the same causes as Dr. Dastre, reporsu that he has discovered two infallible preven- tives-one mixture of atropins and strych- nine and the other caffeine.
