Kent's cases 72: Seasickness-tabacum Tabacum Petroleum Cocculus

There is a most astonishing resemblance between seasickness and the
proving of Tabacum. I have always guarded myself against routine practice
and advised everyone else to keep away as far as possible from routine
practice, but a great many times I have been consulted, where without any
symptoms at all, somebody will tell me,
"Every time I cross the herring pond I get sick. Cannot you send me
something?"
And I have had some most astonishing; results from Tabacum used for
seasickness in a routine manner, without any symptoms.
One man in particular I know, who had crossed the ocean a good many
times, having a business office in New York and one in London.
He always dreaded to go.

He said: "I am sick from the time I go on the boat until I get off. I can eat
nothing. I do nothing but vomit and vomit food from one end of the trip to
the other."
His fortune is invested in such a way that he needs to go two or three times
in the year across the ocean. Now I provide him with the infallible
protections, and when he gets out and feels his dizzy spell coming on he
takes his powder and he can take his meals all the way over.
The one powder has always done it, and he keeps on hand some powders of
Tabacum 70 m.
I have used it many times for the sickness from riding in the cars.
You can understand the Tabacum sickness if you will get on the rear end of
a boat and watch the waves as they go away from the vessel.
The boat goes up and down, and pretty soon the stomach goes up and down
and everything goes up and down.
Well, sitting at a car window and watching the scenery as the car goes
along produces a similar deathly nausea.
Tabacum often relieves this nausea from riding in a train.
Petroleum and Cocculus sometimes helps seasickness, but Tabacum is a
broad remedy that seems to cover most of the symptoms.
