PARADOX !—TO SUFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS, IT S NATU 11 E A N D C U R E. What is Nervousness ? Various answers might be given to this question, according to tlio constitution and knowledge of the individual. Strong healthy persons, whether medically educated or not, generally regard nervousne s as more or less an “ imaginary complaint” ; it is sometimes only believed to ho real when the patient is found to be dying or dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this, — Nervousness is an I nnaterai. Condition of the Nervous System. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompanied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesh, and loss of strength ; hut in most eases there is in the earlier stages of the disorder no outward sign of weakness. The sufferers are found m both sexes ; they often have the bloom of health upon tiro cheek ; they are surrounded by kind friends, yet existence to them has no charms, for they feel that thev 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 someth)’* 3 ' clouded, the memorv fails, the judgment become; indistinct, the will capricious and undecided, the taste ♦itiated, the imagination broods npor unpleasant topics, the spirits are either very lov or very excited, the ordinary duties of life be come burdensome, society is shunned, and busi ness neglected. A Strange Spectacle. —lt is certain!' strange, but not the less true, that perfect!' sane persons in the prime of life, with firm st<» and healthy countenance, may occasionally b met with, who, in spite of possessing all tin advantages of education, religion, ample mean-, and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of tb nervousness above described ; unhappy thenselves. they render other pc pic unhappy. \V]y is tins? What cause has operated to change tie cheerful, active, obliging, unsuspecting, ami iucomplaining youth into the unhappy, drovvs;, listless, suspicious, and gloomy misauthropi? Many causes, or one cause only, may operate o produce this sad state : the cause may be oitlir mental or physical, or both combined. Attempts to Cure Nervousness by means >f ordinary tonics have so frequently proved flawless, that the leading physicians now for te most part recommend hygienic means, such ’S exercise in the open air. regular habits, sobathing, the cold hath friction ; change of ir and scene, as in travelling.
