V/hat is Nervoxtss jss ?— Various answers might be given to this question, according to the constitution and knowledge of the individual. . Strong healthy.persons, whether medically educated or riot, generally regard nervousness, as more or : less an •'iinagitiary complaint ;" it is;spmetimes only believed to be real when the patient is found to be dying ot dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this— -Neivousness is an wi- . natural condition oftjie nervem system. Sometimes this unnatural state- is accompanied . with considerable bodily weakness, loss of 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 ; they are ' surrounded by kind friends, yet existence to ; them has no charms, for they feel thjit , 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, and alarmed ; the heartb eats violently, the hand shakes when writing, and the whole frame at .times experiences a complete tremulousness. The intellect also is. sometimes clouded, the memory .fails,. the judgment becomes indistinct, 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, and business neglected. ' A Stange Spectacle. —lt -is certainly strange, but not the less true, that perfectly .sane persons in the prime of life, with firm step aDd healthy countenance, may occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessing^ alt the advantages of education, religion, ample means, and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of the nervousness above de-; scribed ; 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,; listlest, suspicious, and gloomy-misanthrope ?' Many causes, or one cause only, may operate; to produce this' sad state ; the cause may be. either mental or physical, or both combined.; Attempts 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?' ■ ■■.:■'•':-:■■'■'■ «"■;-:' ••• ; TheAmwer. will be found by carefully : perusing tlie Following.
