A well known physician advances
the theory that the distressing sensa-
tion Of nausea mas its seat in the brain
and not ia the stomach and that relief
may be obtained by cooling the base
Of the brain. He claims to have tested
this often and thoroughly in the case
Of sick headache. bilious collie. cholera

Is a distressing symptom without a
Single failure; also that he once re-
lieved the nausea resulting from can
Ger of the stomach by the application
Of ice TO the back of the neck and
occipital bone. The ice is to be broken
and the bits placed between the folds
of a towel Relief may be obtained
by holding the head over a sink or tub
and pouring a small stream of water
on the neck. This is worth remem-
