-a paradox.— to s pfferers. nervousness : its nature & cure.) What ts Nervousness?— Various answers might be given to this .question, vaccordibg to the constitution-and knowledge of the in^ "dividual.: Strong healthy persons,, whether medically, educated or not, generally regard nervousness, as more or Jess an. " imaginary complaint ;" it is sometimes only believed tobe real when the patient is -found to be dying or dead. The best answer to the .question, probably, is this— Nervousness is an un.natural condition of the nervous system. , Sometimes this unnatural state is accompanied with: considerable bpdily ; weakness, loss oi flesh and loss of strength ; -but in most cases, there is in the. earlier stages of the disorder; no outward sign of; weakness. The^ sufferers are found in both sexes ; they often have the bloom of health upon the cheek ;tlyey are surrounded by kind friends, yet existence to •them has, no charms, for they feel that they cannot enjoy it. Without intending it,^they annoy other people about the merest .trifles ; if they encounter some person: unexpectedly, they feel confused, afraid, arid alarmed ;,. the; heart beats violently,: the hand shakes wheri writing, and the whole frame at times, experiences a complete tremulousness. The intellect also is sometimes clouded,^ thej memory fails, the judgment becomes indis-J tinct, the will capricious and undecided, the' taste vitiated, the imagination ,broods : upon; unpleasant topics, the spirits are very low or. very excited, the ordinary duties of life become burdensome, society is shunned, andbusiness neglected. " ; A Stange Spectacle..— lt is certainly strange, but not the less true, that perfectly salespersons in the prime of. life, with firm' step" and healthy countenance, may occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessing all the advantages of education, reli«ion, ; ample means, and kind friends, nevertheless, are victims of the nervousness above de-i .scribed; unhappy themselves, they renderother people unhappy. Why is this? What; cause has 'operated to change the cheerful,; active, obliging,' unsuspecting, .and uncomplaining youth, into the unhappy,; drowsy,: \ listlest, . suspicious, arid gloomy misanthrope V Many causes', or one cause drily, may operate: to produce this sad 'state ; the cause may be; either mental or physical, or both combined. : A ttempts to Cure Nervousness by means of. ordinary tonics have so frequently proved: fruitless that, the leading physicians now for the most part recommend hygienic means, such as exercise in the open air, regular habits, sea bathing,, the cold bath friction; change of air and scene, as in travelling. If all these fail, as they often do, what is to be done?" ■'" "" """ " --■""-• ;■■■■- ■ ■■■■■■ [, The Answer will be found by carefully' perming fhe Following Work : — r Ninth Edition^ post-free Is. 4d,-v-r - ; NERVQUS DEBILITY, ITS CAUSE AND "" ; : ' '-:\ '' CURE, ' ; w .

( ; A LL|tHose/wKo ;are isuffe'ring'a from ?|le- ; : jLjL spoiideney, melancholia, loss of spirits, ■ and pluck, who feel that they are wasting! and pining, and who are gradually getting' weaker and weaker, from causes they have not courage or desire to acquaint their family attendant with. In all Buch cases Mr L. L. SMITH feels, it incumbent on himself to inform such unfortunate patients, that he has devoted his lifetime to the study of these complaints, having been a pupil and assistant of the late Dr Culverwell, of London, who made these, diseases his special practice. ■' : ' In all those diseases relating and pertaining : to Married Life, and which ■ make marriage a curse rather than a blessing, Mr L. L. SMITH can be consulted with the greatest certainty of success, and with the additional feeling that: no chance can possibly occur of their secret ever being divulged. „ In cases of extreme . Nervous Debility, where the patient feels that" he is exhausted and physically prostrated, and incapable of exertion without great fatigue, then and there the person so situated should at once consult Mr L. L. Smith before' disease of a more serious character sets in; the above arises , frequently from the enervating influence of hot climates,, but frequently from other- causes oi a more serious nature. Palpitationti oi the heart, .a tendency also to be easily startled and alarmed, is another phase of disoaue which requires particular attention, as arising from a most important cause ; those wno suffer from the a' we have NOT— ■■-■.. " Mix"a reason with pleasure, Ana Misdom with mirth." But have, on tne contrary, been guilty of a secretvice, wnlch has, as it were, eaten into th eir very vitais. : Many: • ' old young men' consult me, wno, though young in years, have, through tne vice above alluded to, and from their having been quacked by the unqualified ana unskilful medical man, at last given up all nope and succumbed,\and'are aged in thoir very youth, unfitted to fulfil the duties which they were sent on this earth to ; penorm. : ■ • ?■•: '"Beiwise to-day, ?tis madness to defer, Procrastination is the thief of time." MrL. L. {SMlTH ..wishes to impress on those who are laboring under diseases which cannot be treated by the general medical attendant, ' troia insufficient knowledge and practice, that as an expert in these . diseases, he has the rigflt to warn the : public at large against the nuinoer of blatant charlatons and quacks who not only extort the money out of the pocket* of the patients, but are continually ruining the health of the unfortunate sufferers., r - -Many -hundreds yearly present themselves to nim from all the different colonies, who are thoroughly bankrupt in health and pocket, ana they then lament, when too late, the horrible deception which has been practised on*tnein. .Not only do men deceive these unfortunate victims by pretending to be legally-qualified men, but they aavertiseioi; sale, and swindle the public, by aeliirig^bofctles'of muck, under the name of '" l)r Riconl's Essence-of Life," "Balm of bvrlacum," and a mass of other quackeries, wcose sole province is to extract money out ot the pockets of their deluded victims. Will. the puDlic never understand that the only guarantee cney can have that they will be honestly ana skilfully treated, is the fact that the person to whom they apply for advice is a legally-qualified medical man who has devoted Ms time to the branch of pracf tice for whion the patient is seeking aid?
