Excerpt: ..."I've got five other kinds of pills downstairs, for different maladies I am subject to, but none of them will take the place of Remedial pills." "Will any of them cure seasickness?" asked the dude, eagerly. "I can give you a remedy for seasickness, Mr. Clinton," said Mr. Holdfast, the mate, who chanced to overhear the inquiry. "What is it, Mr. Holdfast? I shall be really grateful, I assure you, if you can cure that beastly malady." "Swallow a piece of raw salt pork about an inch square," said the mate gravely, ...

Excerpt: ..."I've got five other kinds of pills downstairs, for different maladies I am subject to, but none of them will take the place of Remedial pills." "Will any of them cure seasickness?" asked the dude, eagerly. "I can give you a remedy for seasickness, Mr. Clinton," said Mr. Holdfast, the mate, who chanced to overhear the inquiry. "What is it, Mr. Holdfast? I shall be really grateful, I assure you, if you can cure that beastly malady."

Marmaduke sadly shook his head as he walked away. "That man's a walking drug store," said the mate, looking after him. "I'd rather go to Davy's locker, and be done with it, than to fill myself up with pills and potions." "You're looking chipper, my boy," said a newcomer, in a nasal voice. "Haven't been seasick, I guess." Harry recognized the voice of the Yankee inventor, Jonathan Stubbs. "No, sir; I have had very little trouble." "I'm goin' to get up a cure for seasickness when I have time-a kind of a self-acting, automatic belt-I guess there'd be plenty of money in it." "It would be a great blessing, Mr. Stubbs. Poor Mr. Clinton would no doubt be glad to buy it." "Do you mean that languishin' creeter with an eyeglass and spindle legs? What are such fellows made for?"
