Dr. Lamb
Reader suffers
motion sickness
■ s
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - What
is happening to me while ex
periencing motion sickness? I
have had motion sickness of
different degrees depending
on the vehicle in motion.
Thank goodness for
Dramamine, although if I try
to read or carry on a conver
sation, I feel myself working
against the Dramamine.
I experienced terrible mo
tion sickness on a sailboat and
a bus ride that was extremely
fast, on a winding and hilly
road. Could I have helped
myself in another way? I am
not nervous about any
vehicles — including jets.
DEAR READER — Some
people are more susceptible
to motion sickness than
others. It is generally believed
that motion sickness is
related to overstimulation of
the three little balance canals
(the labyrinth) of each ear.
These work like a carpenter’s
level. When you tilt your head
the fluid in the canals shifts
and this stimulates nerve en
dings that relay the informa
tion back to central control —
the brain. This is one of the
major ways your brain has of
finding out the position of your
head.
Some people can be trained
to be less sensitive to motion.
A good example is a long
cruise. Many people will have
motion sensation the first few
days and then will no longer
notice the movement of the
ship. They no longer stagger
across the deck. Then a
curious thing happens — when
the ship docks the people who
have the most trouble with
motion originally may have it
return after they are off the
ship. This is sometimes called
“sea-legs.” That too dis
appears after a few days.
Apparently a person’s
balance mechanism — canals
and brain receptors —
Polly’s Pointers
Weary bedtime story
of sliding mattress
WK I
fl
\ i’ ;
By Polly Cramer
Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY — Does anyone have any suggestions
as to how I can keep my mattress from sliding? I have
tried rotating the mattress but that did not help. —
MRS. C.T.
DEAR MRS. C.T. — Have you tried a thin sheet of
foam rubber placed between the mattress and box
spring? - POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — I want to pass on some Pointers from a
florist as well as my own happy experience with growing gar
denias. About five years ago my children gave me such a
plant. From it I have grown seven baby plants by putting cut
tings in water and then potting them three weeks later. They
like the morning sun as well as weekly showers to wet the
leaves completely. Do not allow the soil to dry out. I use tepid
water once a week when the plant is indoors. During the three
months vacation on the patio, where it is in filtered sunlight, I
water daily and also shower the plant off during the summer
heat. This has kept my gardenia plant blooming and healthy. I
hope it will also help the reader who has such a plant. — MRS.
D.T.
DEAR POLLY — I keep my gardenias in partial sun
summer and winter, and as the leaves need moisture I spray
the plant every other day. When it is brought indoors in the fall
I trim it back. In the early spring I add some wood ashes to the
soil for the acid the plant needs. My plant blooms the year
round and I have had as many as 100 flowers at one time.
(Polly’s note — This must be a huge plant.) — MRS. W.D.
DEAR POLLY — I hope someone has a solution or advice
about my Pet Peeve. It concerns “misplaced persons” who
cannot make satisfactory identification when they need to
cash a check and so on. Most places, even banks, seem to
accept only drivers’ licenses as identification and there are
many, like me, who do not drive. Social Security cards are not
to be used for identification and many people do not have es
tablished credit cards, some because they do not believe in
buying on credit. Being stranded in a strange city or even
where one lives and not being able to cash a check because of
inadequate identification is frustrating, aggravating, em
barrassing and inconvenient. When one lives in a small town
this is no problem but in a large city it presents many
problems. — N.S.
DEAR POLLY — My mother was always talking about how
the backs of her shoes were wrecked when she was driving the
car, but I had a bright solution for her. Cut the toe off of an old
sock and slip the sock over the foot you use while driving.
Make sure the sock is pulled over the heel to completely cover
the back of the shoe and is put on so that it does not interfere
with your use of the foot while driving. Such a cut off sock
slips on and off easily when you get in and out of the car and
certainly saves the shoes. — ANNA.
becomes accustomed to
whatever level of motion a
person is regularly exposed
to, and when the exposure
changes, either increasing or
decreasing, symptoms of mo
tion sickness occur.
We worried about this in
regard to the space program.
We thought that when gravity
was no longer a factor it
might cause a temporary
reaction and that when the
astronauts returned to earth
after a long space voyage it
might be a problem. There
were some reactions, but they
were tolerable.
Incidentally, people can be
trained to be resistant to mo
tion by using special chairs
designed to whirl the in
dividual about in different
directions and literally over
stimulate the balance
mechanism. With enough
stimulation it is possible to
make almost anyone sick
from excess motion.
Dramamine is commonly
used to prevent motion
sickness. It is an an
tihistaminic and does make
you drowsy. There are other
medicines that are sometimes
used. Some include medicines
to counteract the drowsiness.
You may be able to help
yourself when you notice an
attack starting. Lie back as
much as possible and press
your head against the seat or a
pillow. Shut your eyes or at
least focus on a fixed point.
These hints may help, but
very sensitive people still
need to take medicine to avoid
the unpleasant reaction.

The Griffin Daily News presents this feature as
entertainment only. The editors do not believe in
predictions based on astrology or the occult.
For Friday, Jan. 7, 1977
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be
careful today as to whom you de
pend on for business advice, es
pecially of a speculative nature.
Wrong guidance could be very
costly.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Unless you’re willing to pay your
dues today, don't expect any
great measure of success. You’ll
have to really go at it tooth and
nail.
GEMINI (May 21-Juna 20)
There's a strong possibility today
that what you say may be mis
' interpreted. Think twice before
you open your mouth.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Losses could offset your gains
today. Keep your wits about you
where things of value are con
cerned.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have
illusions about the perfect ways
to do things today. Others may
not have the same ideas. Be
realistic. Avoid some bitter dis
appointments.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t
assume the obligations of others
today. The lion’s share may fall
on your shoulders and you’ll
have no one to blame but
yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Today,
you lack your usually tolerant
nature. Don’t be too pushy. Pals
won’t appreciate your attitude.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) It’s
admirable to be ambitious, but
avoid tramping on too many toes
today. They may be on feet that
people will later stick out to trip
you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Doc.
21) You have a tendency today
to second-guess everyone, in
cluding yourself. You could
juggle your plans around so
much they’ll be of small benefit.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Keep away from dealings with
a person whose reputation Is the
least bit questionable today.
You're on shaky ground. Keep
your guard up.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Fob. 19)
Unfortunately, you're going to be
judged today by the company
you keep. Avoid shady types or
be tarred with the same brush.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) It’ll
be better for you today if you
don’t try to do more than you can
handle. Spreading yourself too
thin will only bring frayed nerves.
Jan. 7, 1977 u
Don't abandon a project on
which you've already expended a
lot of time and toil. It may take a
surprising turn this coming year
and reward your efforts.
(Are you a Capricorn? Bernice
Osol has written a special Astro-
Graph Letter tor you. For your
copy send 50 cents and a long
self-addressed, stamped
envelope to Astro-Graph, P.O.
Box 489, Radio City Station, New

for Capricorn Volume 1.)
