PARADOX !—TO SUFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS,, ITS NATURE AND CURE. What is Nervousness ? —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 be real when the patient is found to bo dying or dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this,— Nervousness is an Unnatural Condition of the Nervous System. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompanied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesh, and loss o: strength ; but in most cases there is in the earlier stages of the disorder no outward sign of weakness. The sufferers are found iu both sexes ; they often have the bloom of health upon the cheek ; they are surrounded by kind friends, yet existence to them has no charms, for they 'eel that thev cannot enjoy it. Without interning it. they annoy other people about the menst trifles ; if they encounter some person unexpectedly they feel confused, afraid, and alarmej ; the heart beats violently, the hand shakes when writing, and the whole frame at times experiences a complete trenmlousness. The intellect also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, tie judgment becomes indistinct, the will capriopus and undecided, the taste vitiated, the imsgination broods upon unpleasant topics, the spints are either very low or very excited, the ordiiary duties of life become burdensome, socict' is shunned, and business neglected. A Stii,vsck Spectacle.—lt is certainly strange, but not the hss true, that perfectly sane persons in the prine of life, with firm step and healthy c'ountenaice, may occasionally he met with, who, in sjfite of possessing all the advantages of education, religion, ample means, and kind friends, netertheless are victims or 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 unhappy, drowsy, listless, suspicious, an] gloomy misanthrope? Many causes, or one catta only, mav operate to produce this sad state : Hie cause may be either men til or physical, or wth combined. Attempts to Cure Nervousness by means of ordinary tonics have solrequently proved fruitless, that the lending physicians now for the most part recommend Ivgienic means, such as exercise in the open .jr. regular habiis, seabathing, the cold batlil friction ; change of air and scene, as in traveling. If all thtsc fail, as they often do. what is jo lie done ?
