SELECT MEDICAL OPINION'S: Sir Charles Locock, Physician Accoucheur to her Majesty the Queen, stated at a meeting of the Royal Medical and < 'hirurgical Society that in thirteen cases of debility and nervous prostration he had effected permanent cures by the use of Dr Bright's Phosphodyne. Sir Win. Ferguson, Bart., F.R.S., surgeon to her Majesty the Queen, says:—"l have repeatedly prescribed I)r 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. Dr P. Quain/F.8.C.P., physician to the Hospital for Consumption, Broiupton, remarks : " It cannot be doubted that this Phosphatic preparation will henceforth rank foremost in therapeutics ; it generates all the important elements of the human frame, the peculiar character of this substance fitting it for vital uses.' ; Sir T. Lawrence says : '' 1 have found Dr Bright's Phosphodyne an excellent remedy in skin diseases. I presume it is by oxydisation." Professor Syme says:—"The effects of the Phosphodyne in obstinate cases of disease are as astonishing as perplexing." Dr Handiield Jones, Y. B.C.P., F.P.S., physician to St. Mary's Hospital, says in atrophy, and general debility, Phosphodyne is a most admirable remedy ; it invigorates the nutritive functions, and increases the vital energy,—''it not only acts as an absorbent," but retards or repairs the waste of tissue, and restores the nutritive functions to tieir normal condition. The Lancet considers the Phosphodyne one of the most important contributions made to materia medica during the last century.

PARADOX !—TO SUFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS, ITS XATD 11 li AX i) CIR E. What is Nervousnsss ?—Various answermight be given to this question, according U the constitution and kiowledge of the individual. Strong healthy persons, whither medically educated or not, generally regird nervousness as more or less an ,: imaginary complaint" ; it is sometimes only bdieved to be real when the patient is found to le ilying iv dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this, — Nervousness is an UnsaTiiiAiiCondition ok the Nervous System. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompanied villi considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesh, aid loss o strength ; but in most eases there is in :he carl.er stages of the disorder no outward sign of weaincss. The sufferers are found in both sexes : they often have the bloom of health upui theeheek ; they are surrounded by kind friends, yet existence to them has no charms, for they feel that they cannot enjoy it. Without intending it. they annoy other people about the nwot trifles ; if they encounter some person ure.vpeetedly they feel confused, afraid, and alarmel ; the heart beats Violently, the haul shake;when writing, and the whole frame at times enerienccs a complete tremulousncss. The in toilet also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, tie judgment becomes indistinct, the will caprtfous and undecided, the taste vitiated, the imgination broods upon unpleasant topics, the spi'.ts are either very low or very excited, the ordkary duties of life liecome burdensome, societ is shunned, and business neglected. A Strange Stecp-cle.—lt is certainly strange, but not the Us true, that perfectly sane persons in the prii.e of life, with firm step and healthy countena'Co, may occasionally be met with, who, in s«tc of possessing all the j advantages of ednfat.'oi, religion, ample means, '■ and kind friends, neverheloss are 'ictims of the nervousness above des-.ribed ; unhappy them- j selves, they render othe people unhappy. Why is this? What cause hai operate;! to change the cheerful, active, obliging unsuspecting, and uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, drowsy. listless, suspicions, .111 gloomy misanthrope?! Many causes, or one cane only, may operate to produce this sad state : he cause may be either mental nr physical, or bth combined. Attempts to Cure Nrvousxess bv means of ordinary tonics have so requently proved fruitless, that the leading hysicians now for the most p;irt recommend fygienic means, such ns exercise in the open ar, regular habits, seabathing, the cold bathfriction ; change of air and scene, as in travelliig. if all these fail, as I they often do, what is t be done ?
