Relief for Motion

Sickness

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN.

M.D.

THE problem of preventing

motion sickness assumed great importance just before the invasion of Europe. This all-important campaign had to be launched across the English channel. one of the roughest bodies of water in the world. and the man who executed it had to hit the beachheads in fighting trim. For this reason a great deal of study was devoted to finding ways of pre- venting the dizziness; sickness -at-the-stomach-and-vomiting which are the classic symptoms of motion sickness.

for relieving Drugs used symptoms of either nir or seasick- ness should prevent the symptoms without producing any other effects. They should be active when taken by mouth, and they should begin their action quickly after they are taken.
