Nausea.

Nausea is the disagreeabie sensa-
ton that usually rrecedes vomiting
Of as an inevitable part Of that act.
1t is, however, distinct sensation
like pain, and it often OcCu-S wl.h-
out vomiting, just as voni'ing may
occur without preceding nausea.
| Like pain and all other sensations,
nausea is really felt in toe brain, and
! il is ONLY by association that " 8 re-
fer it to the stomach; the nerves that
COaneCt the Stom lCh might Be cut
if that were possible without destroy
ing life, and the sensation Of nausea
would still exist; just as Il man whose
leg has been amputated sometimes
feels sensations in the foot that is
no longer there.
Nausea Is, Of course, often caused
by conditions present in the stom-
ach, such as dyspepcia, ulcer, IN
tlan.ation or cancer, but in many,
if not most, cases the stomach is
guiitess. Almost everyone has Oc-
Caslonaliy been nauseated BY dlsa-
greeable sights or odors; some sen
sltlve people are sickened by the
mere memory OF suchs things. In
seaslCkness nausea is tie first and
sometimes the only symptom. In
Draln disease, at or near the floor Of
the fourth ventricles which IS the
point where the nerve disturbance
translated as nausea rises to the sur-
face of consciousness, sickness IS a
prominent symptom. Ii Is also as
ISOLATED with the vertigo that accom-
panies disease or temporary Gistub
anCc of The intricate passages of the
inner ear, or that follows artcrlos
C!erOsls and its attendant changes in
the ClrCuiatory system of the brain.
Various drugs and poisons cause
nausea, some by acting through the
nerves of the stomach, Others only
after absorption into the blood; so
do the p0isons Or toxins of many
diseases, such as Bright's disease or
any OF the acute feyers. Any abnor-
"a Al state of 'he abdomiaal organs
may Vrohuce nausea, GnG all moth
erS are familiar with "morning sick
ness" from which they have suffered.
Although nausea may arise quite
independently of the stomach, it is
usually treated through the stomach !;
that is because the stomach nerves
60 directly to the brain centre for
nausea or vomiting, and by acting
on those nerves we can most quick
lV and surely stop the sensation in
the brain, Sometimes a sip of cold,
especially of as.r9.ted, es.etesr s'sillll eslHe
relief, and swallowing little crack
ed Ice is often helpfal. Irritation
over the abdomen by the application
Of hot cloth or a mustard plaster
is often effective, and so is the sim
pie pressure of pad held in place
by a tight belt When nausea Is
caused by the presence Of undigest-
ed food in the stomach, the sensible
thing to do is to drink lukewarm
water or tickle the throat with d
feather to induce vomiting and thus
empty the stomach of the offending
material.
