CHIEF BANE OF OCEAN TRIPS That Intense Feeling of Goneness Which y Obliges tho Traveler to Give Up. SOME MEDICAL POINTS ON SEASICKNESS SiiKKPstlon l)plttnril to Reduce the Internal Commotion to 11 .Mini mum noil MiiUp Life the While Worth l,U Iiiu, It may bo confidently assorted, says the New York Tribune, that no single cnuso de tracts so much from the pleasure of an ocean voyage ns seasickness, actual nnd anttclpa- .Ive. The monotonous moan of the foghorn, the tremor thnt results from .1 twin-screw mechanical equipment, the crying or exces sively sociable child, which begins demon strations In an adjacent cabin nt 5 o'clock In the morning, and thu spilling ot n plate of soup Into one's lap when the vessel rolls heavily, aro either exceptional or trifling drawbacks. Hut seasickness finds n lnrger number of victims, dominntes them for a longer period and Is a much more serious matter than any of these other experiences. Tho acutu manifestations of the matady may not he prolonged, but, susceptibility to It having been discovered, the sufferer becomes moro or less apprehensive, his plans and movements are trammeled and his nmbl- tlon is paralyzed. Fortunately, the majority of those who suffer at all are troubled only during the first two or three days of a voy age, or else only when the ship pitches badly. Hut even so. It Is highly desirable to mitigate the severity of the attack If pos sible. And this may be done by observing a few simple precautions. Dr. Herman Partsch of Hrooklyn con tributes to the Medical Record n number of excellent suggestions on this subject. Some of them will seem rather familiar to the veteran voyager; others may nppear more novel. In uny ense, however, It Is to be noted thnt the man who offers these hints spent two nnd a half years nt sea ns the modlcnl officer ot various steamships and in 1SSG received 11 prize from the Medical so ciety of California for nn essay on seasick ness. Moreover, several other doctors who hnve served a similar apprenticeship nnd the leading steamship companies of San Francisco have strongly recommended Dr. Partsch's Instructions. I'rpnli Air Amlillili, In tho first place, n passenger who expects to be sick should secure a cabin as nearly amidships as potBlble, und should give thnt part of tho vessel the preference when out on deck, Inasmuch ns tho motion of tho ship Is felt much less there than out forward. Secondly, ono cannot havo too much fresh air. It Is vastly better to be out on deck than cooped up In a cabin. Hut the latter should bo ns well ventilated as possible. One need not worry nbout draughts. It Is n sin gular fact, due perhaps to the humidity of sea air, that on the ocean It Is practically Impossible to take cold. Dr. Partsch urges tho advisability of wearing shoes that nro warm nnd comfortable, and thnt can be put on and removed with oase. Indeed, conven ience In dressing nnd undressing Is to be studied In the choice of clothing taken on n sea voyage. Tho victim of seasickness will learn from experience, sooner or later, that his posture greatly affects the behavior of his stomach. If ho lies flat on his back he may get along for hours without Inconvenience; whereas, If ho sits or stands erect for a few minutes he Is llablo to be overcome on short notice. Hut It Is better to tako ndvlco on this point In udvanco and not wait for original dlscov cry. Dr. Partsch makes It an Important feature of his program, and an elaborate ex planation of tho fact Is offered. Ho says that thn first part of the physical median Ism to be affected by a ship's curiously complicated motion Is the vaso-motor nerv ous system. The blood vessels In tho abdo men dllatn und In consequence get moro than their fair shuro ot tho blood. Thus tho brain Is robbed and to that deficiency Dr. Partsch attributes tho nausea, which la tho most dlsagrccahlo symptom of seasick ness, Now, by lying down ono can restore the equilibrium in the blood distribution nnd If this precaution be taken promptly, It Is asserted, moro violent manifestations can ho avoided entirely. "Tho stomach has noth ing to do with seasickness, except as It Is incidentally nnd accidentally implicated," says Dr. Partsch, and if while reclining tho patient closes his eyes he will thus prevent optical vertigo, by which term Is meant tho dizziness nnd nausea that result from visually observing tho ship's rolling nnd pitching. lint. Drink nnd Hp .Slurry. The most remarkable part of tho self treatment recommended by tho Hrooklyn expert relates to Indulgence In food und drink. The victim Is advised to eat, ns patriots aro sometimes told to vote, early and often. Ordinarily the person who is disposed to bo seasick lacks an nppctlto, If Indeed, ho has not a distinct aversion for food. Dr. Partsch Insists thnt the sufferer should disregard this fact, though. Ho ar gues that ono cannot escape seasickness even It lying down unless tho blood Is kept well supplied with nutritive material tho moro tho better. Tho three regular meuls of tho day ought to bo supplemented by four or more others. On this point tho Medical Record's contributor remarks: "Always eat and drink at least ten min utes before rising in tho morning. It mat ters llttlo what it is, provided only It Is what you want. Porter or stout uro good, so aro hard, sour apples. At sea we may find ourselves liking and longing for things that we hardly over think of on shore. Whatever you really want, that Is tho best thing to take; and porter or stout aro al wa8 good, whether you want It or not. "When one Is already seasick, those liquid foods uro best which requlro least diges tion, are most rapidly absorbed and yield tho quickest returns beer, ale, porter, stout, broth, soups and meat extracts. These cannot all bo prescribed with success; they should only ho suggested then tho patient will choose which ho wants and tho stom ach will agree on tho choice. The sicker tho patient the oftencr ho must eat, and the less at a time; and when he feels a re pugnance to all other foodB, porter or stout taken without raising tho head, directly from the bottle, a mouthful at 11 time, at about flvo minute Intervals, will prove a groat success." Tho yolks of two raw eggs, beaten up with an equal quantity of brandy and taken by tho teaspoonful at ten-minute Intervals, con stltutes a particularly valuable "emergency ration." And it Is asserted that thn best tlmo to tuke UiIb or a little stout, or Indeed a hearty meal. Is Immediately nftcr tho stomach has been lu uctlve robelllon. Tho spasms ot retching aro separated by In tervals of ten minutes or more. And food that la takon promptly after one of these Is pretty sure to bo retained. Although theso Instructions are meant for pcoplo who mako long voyages, they con hardly fall to prove useful also to thoso who merely go yachting nnd fishing nnd find that they aro not good sailors. Except In ono or two respects, tho soundness of this ndvlco U well established by Independent evidence. And whero Dr. Partsch's sug gestions seem n little unusual, his practical experience entitles him to tho confidence of the unprofessional reader, llnlilt In 11 HnrnrS Work, New York Huh: "When I retired from thn contructlni; business a short tlmo 01:0." suld n well known man, "I hud a number of horses that I was anxious to 11 snoso or Among them wus ono named Jerry, which for several years had been used to working on a drum.
