NERVOUSNESS ITS NATURE AND CURE. WHAT IS NERVOUSNESS? Various answers might be given to this uestion, according to tee constitution and nowledge of the individnal. Strong healthy ersons, whether medically educated or not, enerally regard nervousness as more or less n “imaginary complaint ;” it is ’sometimes nly believed to be real when the patient is sund to be dying or dead. The best answer 0 the question, probably, is this —nervousESS IS AN UNNATURAL CONDITION OR THE ervous system. Sometimes thisnnnatnral bate is accompanied with considerable bodily reakness, loss of flesh and loss of strength ; ut in most cases there is in the earlier fcages of the disorder no outward sign of reakness. The sufferers are found in both exes; they often have the bloom of health pon the cheek ; they are surrounded by :ind friends, yet existence to them has no harms, for they feel that they cannot enjoy Without intending it, they annoy other eople about the merest trifles ; if they euounter some person unexpectedly they feel onfused, afraid, and alarmed ; the heart eats violently, the hand shakes when writig, and the whole frame at times experiences complete tremulousness. The intellect also 1 sometimes clouded, the memory fails, the ndgment becomes indistinct, the will capriious and undecided, the taste vitiated, the pagination broods upon unpleasant topics, he spirits are either very low or very excited, he ordinary duties of life become burdenome, society is shunned and business icglected. A STRANGE SPECTACLE. It 5s certainly strange, but not the less rue, that perfectly sane persons in theprime f life, with firm step and healthy coupten,nce, may occasionally be met with, who, u spiteof possessing all the advantages of cduation, religion, ample means and kind friends icvertheless are victims of the nervousness drove described; unhappy themselves, hey render other people unhappy. Why, s this? What cause has operated to change be cheerful, active, obliging, unsuspecting, md uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, Irowsy, listless suspicious and gloomy mismtbrope ? Many causes, or one cause only, nay operate to produce this sad state ! The sause may be either mental or physical, or >oth combined, Attempts to cure nervousness by Beans of ordinary tonicsehave so frequently iroved fruitless, that the leading physicians low for the most part recommend hygenic neans, such as exercise in the open air, re;ular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath friction ; change of air and scene, as in travelling, f all these fail, as they often do, what is to >edone? The answer will be found by carefully >erusing the following work. Ninth Edition, Post Free, la 4 d. NERVOUS DEBILITY: ITS CAUSE AND CURE, Vith Plain directions for perfect Restoration to Health.
