Sea-sickness and Equilibration of the Eyes

Nature volume 73, page 584 (1906)Cite this article

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.
