J. A. Dudgeon, n pioneer of Omnha, was
found In n dying condition late Friday after
noon In the band stund at Fort Omaha. De
side him were two bottles which told the
tale. One hnd contained two ounces ot tinc
ture of opium, the other eight ounces of the
solution of cocaine, and but ono ounce re
mained ot the latter poison.
The police were notified at C:05, nnd thir
teen minutes later Kmcrgoney Officer Hald-
win was nt the scene. He stopped long
enough at n house near the fort to get n
pall of mustnrd wnter and one of black cof
fee. Dudgeon was almost beyond human
nld when Dnldwiu reached his side, but the
latter administered the remedies and the
necessary physical manipulation, with tho
result that life was, prolonged until the ar
rival of Police Surgeon Ames. Tho surgeon
gave nn emergency trentment and ordered
Dudgeon tnken to Clarkson hospital. It wns
reported nt a late hour that he was still
alive, hut In such bad condition that his re
covery is extremely doubtful.
Dudgeon left the following not In expla
nation ot his action:
'To Whom It May Concern: I have suf
fered enough and am nearly blind. Please
turn this body over to Dr. Charles E. Alli
son for dissection."
Two letters addressed to relatives were
also found. One wns for his daughter, Mrs.
Mary L. Smith of Craig. Neb., the other for
a son, F. L. Dudgeon of DeSoto, Neb. His
wife nnd children havo had much trouble
with him In the last few years, ns ho has
often disappeared for days at a tlmo and
threatened frequently to commit suicide. It
Is believed that he was partially demented.
Dudgeon wns nbout 65 years old and came
to this city thirty yenrs ugo or more. Ho
was at one time well-to-do, but of late
years has heen supported by his wife nnd
children. In nddltion to the two children

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,
