ROYAL NAVY CONCERNED
Seasickness Cure Sought (Special Crspdt. N.ZPA.) LONDON, July 19. The Royal Navy is involved in a full-scale war—against seasickness. In a report by a naval doctor, Surgeon Commander John Walters, it has been revealed that an average 13 out of every 100 British sailors are prone to seasickness.
This is only an average figure, however, reached from a survey which studied voyages in all types of weather. When the weather became rough, the figure rose to more than 25 in every 100. In his report, which appeared in the proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine, Commander Walters Mid experts were now engaged in trying to find an ideal cure for seasickness.
