Abstract
IN connection with the above subject (p. 511) it may perhaps interest your readers to know that German sailors recommend as a cure for sea-sickness to take a looking- glass and look steadily at your own eyes in it. Every motion of the ship is shared by the looking-glass, and consequently by so doing your own eyes follow the motion of the ship.
