Cure For soanickn.sa.

or the so called cures for sensick-

1t is ms follows:
"Thc appliances are n basin of hot
water mt 50 degrees and couple of
hnndkerchiefs. Whenever the traveller
feels that he is becoming glddy he
must lie Hat on his back on the cabin
sofa or a deck chair The clothes are
unbuttoned so that there Is nothing to
hinder breathing. Then the handker-
chiefs are wrung out In the hot water
ana bound round the forehead. This
bandage must lie made very tight,
which can be done 10y using Il penhold-
er or something'of the kind as lever
when twisting It, During the first
minute or two the sensation is not par
ticuarly pleasant, but those who bear
1t are completely cured. which is sure
ly sufficient reward for any temporary
inconvenience. When the bandagc be-
gins To get cold another must be put
on and the process continued. each
time with a hotter bandage IL possible
until the patient Is relieved of the
squcamlsh feeling. This should he ac-
complishcd in about half an hour. In
very obstinate cases it may take an
hour.
"Whle under treatment the patient
must not eat. drink or smoke. One of
the symptoms of scasicliness is cxces-
sivc thirst, which must not be as
sunsed. If the patient has n craving
for food lie may be given n little dry
toast and weak tea. Two hours after
the cure the patient need not fear n
hearty meal. smoking or drinking.
Those who undergo this treatment at
the beginning of Il voyage are never
troubled with seasickncss even when
the sea runs high"

Thompson, who was appointed to hear the claims of the miners shortly after the arrest of Adams has completed his work and made return to the court of his findings.

His property has been estimated to be worth quarter of million dollars. After the amount which he stole from the miners is paid back he will have a hundred and fifty thousand left and this sum he will receive after he has served his sentence of ten years at McNeil:s Island, the federal prison.
