Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 35, Number 121, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 October 1903 — Babies Never Get Seasick. [ARTICLE]

Babies Never Get Seasick.

“Babies never get seasick. I have carried thousands of them in my time,” said an American line steward, according to the Philadelphia Uecprd, “and in rough weather I have seen their fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters keel over like soldiers before a cannon ball; hut not so with the babies. Whether it be rough or smooth at Bea, a baby is always an excellent Sailor—ropy, Jolly and with the appetite of a horse. Da you know the explanation of this singular fact? It is as simple as the fact Is strange. Babies don’t get seasick because they are accustomed to the rocking of t,he cradle. That movement is much ike the roc-kiug of a ship. A baby aboard ship, therefore, Is merely n baby In an unusually big cradle, and there is nothing odd to him about the rocking, for it is what lie has been accustomed to all his life.”
