Seasickness

It was advocated that whoever was embarking on a voyage should eat well before setting out on the journey. At least this avoided the singular unpleasantness of retching on an empty stomach.

If sickness occurred despite sailing on a full stomach and the sickness was prolonged, it was suggested that the person suffering from seasickness should swallow the raw white of an egg beaten in cold water. If this stayed down it was to be followed by a whole raw egg mixed with a little brandy.
