Is probable that death has never re.
suited from this cause alone. even
though the symptoms are most dis
tressing ard unpleasant.
In seasickness there Is usually
general discomfort and perhaps a
headache, large production Of saliva,
and nausea soon followed by retching
and vomiting. Some relief Is usually
experienced after the stomach has
been emptied of It's contents and the
bowels moved. This indicates the
proper course Of treatment.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1929-02-23
SEA AND CAR SICKNESS

! There is no doubt that the mental
attitude plays an important part In
the production Of seasickness. Pas
sengers on q boat. will sometimes be-
come seasick even before the boat
has sailed. or they may become sick
by observing the symptoms in others
After getting seasick or car-sick once,
almost anything which will remind
one of the circumstances will produce
the symptoms again II one Is Of q
sensitive nature. For instance, the
smell Of grease near train may pro-
duce car-sickness, or looking at the
swaying motion Of boat. Even mo-
ton pictures showing waves and
ships have produced seasickness In
susceptible people. Usually, however.
there is some physical cause in addi-
ton to the psychic impulses. Some
of the physical factors are: an over
loaded stomach, congestion Of the
liver, tumorS. pregnancy, visual de-
fectS, or disturbance Of the balanc-
ing fluid In the inner ear. Usually,
some one or more Of these physical
factors are present in addition to
holding the thought Of expecting sea-
sickness.
Most passenger boats have the
American plan of serving food. and
passengers take advantage Of this sit
Uation by eating all they can as often
as possible, and they may have over
eaten even before going on q trip
BY being comparatively inactive on
board the boat or train, they do not
digest and assimilate as large a guam
tity of food as normally. It is a good
plan to start these trips with an
empty stomach and to eat sparingly
until one has become accustomed to
the motion of travelling.
If the visual defect Is responsible
for your seasickness. you can be easily
cured by having properly fitted
glasses. A pregnant woman becomes
easily nauseated from the pressure
upon the sensitive nerve-plexuses.
Many persons find that the swaying
movement Of the body such as in the
rolling chair or in swing will bring
about the same feeling as that pro-
duced by the rolling motion Of boat.
This Is sometimes q mental sugges-
ton through the association of ideas
and can be overcome to Z large ex-
tent by positive autosuggestion. The
secret Is to think about other things
and develop concentration upon some-
thing to be desired rather than upon
the swaying motion.
1t is wise plan to cleanse the
system thoroughly before starting on |

car sickness. This can be done bv
eating sparingly for few days upon
careful diet and also using enemas.

THE FRONTIER SPIRIT

We like to say that we have left the frontier long
way behind Our grandfahers. living in isolated
wilderness settlements used to have to battle nightly
every winter with snow. cold and loneliness but
have habit OF saying that all of that sort OF thing
buried in the past Automobiles telephones good roads
and rapidly increasing population-so they tell US
have set free.
Maybe So But there still plenty of places In the
United States where winter blizzard calls for just
much fortitude endurance and bravery it did two
generations ago. The frontier at times is than
think
terrific snowstorm struck the northwest recently.
In Idaho the drifts 10 feet deep Roads i'm
passable: high wind and bitter cold added to the
difficulties Of jewellers in lonely ranches
At the height of the storm the daughter of a stock
man was stricken with acute appendicitis The near
est surgeon 30 miles away, the town of Cotton
wood.
The father put his daughter in covered sleigh and
started out. All day they fought the blizzard BY night
they had made little Roadway that they had to turn
back.
Somehow they got word to some neighbors The next
morning handful of cowboys appeared. Driving their
animals ahead of the Sleigh the cowboys plunged to
their neckS in the drfed to break the path for
the sleigh Throughout the day they kept at it. The
sleigh moved forward by inches Men horses forced
themselves to keep at it to the limit endurance
Bravey and painfully they made their way over the
long 30mie stretch of blocked roads to the town of
Cottonwood.
Finally late at night they passed the last of the drifts
and reached the town. The girl was operated on and
the surgeon said she would recover
That sort Of thing used to be commonplace in America
In the old days every small town in the northern part
OF the country took such experiences as part of the
regular winter routine.
Naturally. such conditions called for physical endur-
ance and courage No Of weaklings could survive
IN such circumstances It is probably true that good

rigorous training school Of the old-fashoned winter
Such things don't happen as often as they used to

comforting to see that when they do happen people
are still capable Of meeting them The ability to face
colo darkness and storm is one Of most valuable

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
SPINAL Menin9itis

Question: E. w. asks: "Will YOU
please give me a thorough descrip-
ton, cause, symptoms, ETC., OF spinal
meningitis? What ages are most liza
BILE to have it. and Is there q cure?"
Answer: I have written several
special articles on this subject, and
will be glad to send them to you if
you will only send your address the
next time you write. It is impossible
to give satisfactory answer to your
question In this column, as space does
not permit.
Rye Bread
Question: Mrs B. w. asks: IT'S
rye bread starchy, and would 1t be
harmful for one to eat who is on
diet for inward goitre which causes
rapid heart beat and whose blood
pressure is at times above normal?"
Answer: It is very difficult to
obtain bread made from rye flour, as
most Of this bread contains only from
10 to Is per cent Of rye flour mixed
with wheat flour. In any case ali
bread Is starchy, and / do not recon-
mend either bread or anything made
OF cereals during the time one is try
ing to recover from any kind OF thy
roid arrangement or when ones blood
pressure Is too high.
Ache in Back Of Neck
question: Mrs. M. T. G. writes:
For about year I have suffered
with an ache in the back of nv neck.
It does not ache constantly, but at
different times during the day. Can
you tell me what Is the cause OF it?"
Answer: Such an ache in the back
OF the neck with q woman ALWAYS In
dicates some pelvic arrangement, or
displacement OF the abdominal or
gans. The ache in the neck is a
definite reflex from these organs
which are located at exactly the other
end Of the spine.
