SELECT MEDICAL OPINIONS: Sir Charles Locock, Physician Accoucheur to her Majesty the Queen, stated at a meeting of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society that in thirteen cases of debility and nervous prostration he had effected permanent cures by the use of Or Bright’s Phosphodyne. Sir Win. Ferguson, Bart., F. R.S , surgeon to her Majesty the Queen, says;—“ I have repeatedly prescribed Dr Bright's Phosphodyne and found it an agreeable and beneficial remedy. I have but one objection regarding it, and that is, the elaborate process required in the preparation will not allow of the retail price being within the reach of all classes.” Dr Lancaster, the eminent coroner, says : “Dr Bright’s Phosphodyne is calculated to entirely supersede iron, mercury, sarsaparilla, quinine, and cod-liver oil.

PARADOX !—TO SUFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS, ITS X ATUU E AX 1) (J UK E. "What is Xervousness?— Various answers might he given to this question, according to the constitution and knowledge of the individual. Strong healthy persons, whether medically educated or not, generally regard nervousness as more or less an “ imaginary complaint” ; it is sometimes only believed to he real when the patient is found to he dying or dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this, — Xervousness is an Unnatural Condition of the Xeuvous System. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompanied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of llesb. and loss of strength ; hut in most cases there is in the earlier stages of the disorder no outward sign of weakness. The sufferers are'found in both sexes ; they often have the bloom of health upon the cheek ; they are surrounded by kind friends, yet existence to them lias no charms, for they feel that they cannot enjoy it. Without intending it, they annoy other people about the merest trifles ; if they encounter some person unexpectedly they feel confused, afraid, and alarmed ; the heart beats violently, the hand shakes when writing, and the whole frame at times experiences a complete tremulousness. The intellect also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, the judgment becomes indistinct, the will capricious and undecided, the taste vitiated, the imagination broods upon unpleasant topics, the spirits are either very low or very excited, the ordinary duties of life become burdensome, society is shunned, and business neglected. A Strange Spectacle. —lt is certainly strange, but not the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime of life, with firm step and healthy countenance, may occasionally he met with, who, in spite of possessing all the advantages of education, religion, ample means, and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of the nervousness above described; unhappy themselves, they render other people unhappy. Why is this? What cause has operated to change the cheerful, active, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncomplaining youth into the nnhapuy. drowsy, listless, suspicions, and gloomy misanthrope? Many causes, or one cause only, may operate to produce this sad state : the cause may be eiiher mentil or physical, or both combined. Attempts to Cure Nervousness by means of ordinary tonics have so frequently proved fruitless, that the leading physicians now for the most part recommend hygienic means, such as exercise in the open nir. regular habits, seabathing, the cold hath friction ; change of air and scene, as in travelling. If all these fail, as
