SECRETS OF
HEALTH
DE. @. "a. u. Reed

10y LIZ Ae A. LIZ AACCus
TN my article OF yesterday ]
i gave the views of Oriel as to
the nature of seasickness and
some hints as to its management.
But the care of a seasick person
who is a very, very sick per-
son-involves many features.
DIR. Oriel is firm believer in
sugar for seasickness. and found
it's effects much greater than
those obtained by any other of
the Wanted remedies. such as
atropine, strychnine, belladonna.
choral and various patent medi-
cines. 1t worked very we'll in
the preventing stage, but after
vomiting had set in, when the
patient was really bad and sui
fering from the additional pains
of semi-starvation, the effect was
dramatic. If the patient can just
hold the sugar for Is minutes
he will absorb lot of it, but If
he cannot keep it down he may
get the ships surgeon to give
him a dose Of it in vein or
by the back passage.
DIR. Oriel's explanation is that
the worry Of departure, the new
surroundings and the effect OF
the motion of the ship on the
passengers sympathetic nervous
system together cause a rise in
his blood sugar, which exhausts
the gIycogen reserves of the liver,
especially if there is no food in
the stomach from which to re-
plenish them. The result is
acidity. The way to avoid sea-
sickness, then, is to eat plenty
of fruit and food containing
flour and sugar, and to avoid
fats. For short voyages poor
sailors should take a good meal
two hours before embarkation
and good dose of sedative,
such as five grains of choral or
10 to Is grains OF bromide of
potassium. He should repeat this
dose as soon as he gets on board
and then lie down in a current Of
fresh air.
Air is very important, as oxy.
gen scarcity is a direct precursor
of acidity in the blood. Part of
the increase in seasickness OBJ
served during storms is due to
the necessity of shutting the
portfolios.
On a long voyage passengers
should not take a chair on deck
In a cold wind until after two
meals have been retained. DR..
Oriel suggests that very bad
sailors might try insulin, the
remedy for diabetes, as well as
the good meal, but that is mat
ter for arrangement with the
ships physician.
Some patients are helped by
closing their eyes. 1t is impor-
tant that there should be no
emotional disturbance. A basin
near at hand is more likely to
allay the fears of not having one
when needed than 1t is to sug-
sest and encourage seasickness.
