Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recent Studies in Naupathia, or Seasickness: Symptomatology, Diagnosis, Pathogenesis, and Treatment by a New and Efficacious Method Seasickness is an affection about which there are many theories and for which a legion of different remedies have been vaunted. This is because it has not been thoroughly studied, and consequently no logical method of treatment has been settled upon that will oppose promptly, constantly, and efficaciously the numerous symptoms of this affection. The object of this review of seasickness is to give the most complete description of the subject extant and to offer to the medical profession a means of combating the affection that can be relied upon. There is hardly a morbid state to which man is subject that has resisted the prescriptions directed against it as much as this; there is hardly one which has caused the physician so many deceptions and the patient so much discouragement as this. Therefore the physician has in fact almost wholly renounced treating seasickness in the hope of positively curing it, and the patient rarely calls upon the ship´s doctor to treat it. It is truly a strange spectacle of our times to see on board of a great transatlantic liner, for instance, hundreds of passengers violently seasick, keeping their berths, vomiting each instant, moaning, and really suffering atrociously, while the ship´s physician, although possessing the medical knowledge and the therapeutic means of our day, is powerless to relieve them.
