Cure for Seasickness.—If a person seated on board ship, holding a fambler filled with water in his (or her) hand, makes an effort to prevent the water running over—at the same time allowing not merely his arm, but also his whole body to participate in the movements, he will find that this has the effect of preventing the giddiness and nausea that the rolling and tossing of the vessel have a tendency to produce in inexperienced voyagers. If the person is suffering from slekness at the commencement of his experiment, as soon us he grasps the glass of liquid in his hand, and suffers his arm to take its course and go through the movements alluded to, he feels as if he were performing them of his own free will, and the nausea abates immediately, and very soon ceases entirely, and does not return so long as he suffers his arm and body to assume the postures into which they seem to be Drawn. Should he, however, resist the free course of his hand he instantly feels a thrill of pain of a peculiarly stunning kind, shoot through his head, and experiences a sense of dizziness and returning nausea.
