PARADOX !—TO SUFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS, ITS NATURE AND C J RE. What is Nervoitsne&s?—Variaa answers might be given to this question, ceovding to the constitution ami knowledge o'tlie individual. Strong healthy persons, wether medically educated or not, generally re,ard nervousness as more or less an " imaginar complaint" ; it is sometimes only believed tobe real when the patient is found to bo dying »r dead. The best answer to the question, proUbly, is this, — Nervousness is an Unnatura Condition of the Nervous System. Sometiios this unnatural state is accompanied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesh, and loss f strength ; but in most cases there is in the coder stages of the disorder no outward sign of wekness. The sufferers arc found in both sexes they often have the bloom of health upon tli cheek ; they are surrounded by kind friends vet existence to them has no charms, for that they cannot enjoy it. Without inteHing it. they annoy other people about the incest trifles ; if they encounter some person ini<peetedly they feel confused, afraid, and alani'd ; the heart beats violently, the hand shak< when writing, and the whole frame at times iperienecs a complete tremulousuess. The intent also is sometime clouded, the memory judgment becomes indistinct, the will and. undecided, the taste vitiated, the i agination broodi upon unpleasant topics, the sirits are either very low or very excited, the oi«iary duties of life become burdensome, soei'J" is shunned, and business neglected.

Why is this? What Ausefas operated to change the cheerful, activ<» oblhflg, unsuspecting, mid uncomplaining \oulh iw> thii unhappv, drowsy, listless, suspicious, al gloomy inisanthr <pe ? Many causes, or one <B8<; only, may operate to produce this sad stati the cause may bo either niontd or physical, oboth co ■uhiiied.

Attempts to Curtv*rvoi7S>je.ss by moans of ordinary tonics hive' frequently proved fruitless, that the leadii physicians now for the most part recommeu hygienic means, such as exercise in the opei&ir, titular ha hits, seabathing, the cold hi friction ; change of air and scene, a.; in tracing.
