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 Dr Bright’s Phosphodyne. Sir Wm. Ferguson, Bart., F.R.S., surgeon to her Majesty the Queen, says : —“ I have repeatedly prescribed Dr Bright’s Phosphodyne and found it an 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 R. Quain, F.R.C.P., physician to the Hospital for Consumption, Brompton, 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: “I have found Dr Bright’s Phosphodyne an excellent remedy in skin diseases. T presume it is by oxvdisation.” Professor Syme says : —“ The effects of the Phosphodyne in obstinate cases of disease are as astonishing as perplexing.” Dr Handheld Jones, F. 11. C. P., F. R.S., physician to St. Marv’s Hospital, says in atrophy, and general debility. Phosphodyne is a most admirable remedy ; it invigorates the nutritive functions, an I increases the vital energy,—“ it not only acts as an absorbent,” but retards o’ repairs the waste of tissue, and restores thi nutritive functions to their normal condition.

NERVOUSNESS, ITS NATURE AND CUIE, What is Nervousness? — Various answers might be given to this question, acceding to the constitution and knowledge of tie individual. 'Strong healthy persons, whetler medically educated or not, generally regar. nervousness as more or leas an “ imaginary c<nplaint” ; it is sometimes only believed to bereal when the patient is found to be dying or .cad. The best answer to the question, probahl', is this, — Nervousness is an Unnatural Condition of the Nervous System. Sometimes.his unnatural state is accompanied with consumable bodily weakness, loss of flesh, and loss of srength ; but in most eases there is in the earlieistages of the disorder no outward sign of weakuss. The sufferers arc found in both sexes ; tey often have the bloom of health upon the cteek ; they are surrounded by kind friends, yc existence to them has no charms, for the}’ fee that they cannot enjoy it. Without interning it. they annoy other people about the mercsttriflos ; if they encounter some person unexpctedly they feel confused, afraid, and alarmed the heart beats violently, the hand shakes wen writing, and the whole frame at times expeumces a complete tremulousness. The iutcllcctHso is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, tlujudgment becomes indistinct, the will caprioioa and undecided, the taste vitiated, the imagiution broods upon unpleasant topics, the spirit are either very low or very excited, the ordinnj duties of life become burdensome, society 'shunned, and business neglected. A Straxoe SpectaLE.—lt is certainly strange, but not the les' true, that perfectly sane persons in the priimof life, with firm step and healthy countenanci may occasionally be met with, who, in spis ,1 f possessing all the advantages of education religion, ample means, and kind friends, nevethriess are 'ictims of the I nervousness above dsserbed ; unhappy themselves. they render other pople unhappy. Why is this? What cause has <peratod to change the chceHnl, active, obliging, msuspecting, and uncomplaining youth into tie unhappy, drowsy, listless, suspicions, and loomy misanthrope ? Many causes, or one causeonly, may operate to produce this sad state : tb cause may be either mental or physical, or hot combined. Attempts to Cure NeEousness by means of ordinary tonics have so fiqnently proved fruitless, that the leading pVsicians now for the most part recommend hyienic means, such as exercise in the open air regular habits, sea-bathing,-the cold bath fetion ; change of air and scene, as in travellin. If all these fail, as they often-do, what is to« done ? • -
