Another Use for Collodion.--Dr. Laederich, a French physician, highly recommends the treatment of sea sickness with collodion,--this, he asserts, having proved the means of warding off that malady form many who were peculiarly predisposed to suffer from it, and had suffered much before. The collodion is applied with a brush in three successive layers on the epigastric region--over the stomach--and the neighboring parts. It acts in the same way as in those of peritonitis, where it is a powerful anti-emetic. M. Velasco suggests another remedy, tested successfully in his own experience, viz., injections of 0.005 grain and 0.02 grain of morphine.
