We know of no cure suitable for all
alike for sea-sickness. Lie down on deck, drink water before being sick,
and beware of starving. At the same time, do not select pork nor a suet
dumpling just at first. In cases of very severe sickness, swallowing
small scraps of ice before and after a spoonful of _consomme_ or jelly
is desirable, and an icebag should be applied to the spine.
A TRING GIRL should consult a doctor about the moles if very
unornamental.
LADY JANE GREY.--The "seven whistlers" are curlew, or herringspear
birds, thought to be storm-bringers when heard overhead at sea. You will
find a story in Buckland's "Curiosities of Natural History" about them.
ANNIE SPIKE should write to the Religious Tract Society, 56,
Paternoster-row, E.C., for the tracts she needs. The lines are not
poetry--nothing but badly-rhymed prose.
HARTY.--Wills can be inspected at Somerset House, in the Strand, W.C.
UNE PETITE FLEUR.--No one could interfere with you in keeping a private
school, so far as we know.
JAMIE'S DARLING.--We thank you warmly for your kind letter, and wish you
much happiness in your new life and position.
NO STONE UNTURNED must send her tale to a publisher; but we do not think
she will get much--probably nothing; but, on the contrary, will have to
pay, for a first attempt.
