'Seajoy' motion sickness plaster, London, England, 1928-1930 |
||
Description |
Motion sickness is a highly unpleasant experience that travellers wish to avoid at all costs. This plaster was intended to be applied to the pit of the stomach for the duration of the journey and promised to make “sea, train or air sickness a thing of the past”. Each plaster cost 3 shillings. The plaster contained morphine – a highly addictive drug used for pain relief. From the letters of recommendation accompanying the packaging, the Seajoy plaster seems to have been effective, for some people at least. maker: Evans, James, maker: Seajoy Company Limited Place made: Putney, Wandsworth, London, Greater London, England, United Kingdom Wellcome Images |
