■r A~ P ARA-DOX;^ TO' SiJFFEREiRSr NERVOUSNESS i ITS NATURE & CURE. ; What ts Nervousness? — Various answers might be given to this question, according to the constitution and knowledge of the individual. Strong healthy -persons, .whether medically educated or not, generally regard nervousness as more or less an. "imaginary complaint ;" it is sometimes only believed to be real when the patient is found to be dying or dead; The best answer to the 'question, probably, is thiß—N'eivoume&B is an unnatural condition oftlie nervouf system. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompanied < with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesh and loss of strength; bnt in most coses there is in the earlier stages of the disorder novoutwardisign 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 that they cannot enjoy' it. Without intending iti 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 completes 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 and healthy countenance, may. occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessing alii the advantages of education,; religion, ample means, ana kind friends, nevertheless are victims of the nervousness above described; 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.?:.-;.: '■',•■ ■'.']" y \^l V ■ '-1-.' ■ The Answer, will be found by carefully perusiiig f'iht \ Following Work :— ..,, Ninth Edition, post free Is 4d, nervous debility, its cause and ■ ..■■■-■■'■■-•• cure, 0 } -' : ' :"?: : ! : With Plain Directions for Perfect Restora- , • v tibn to Health.

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 andpertaining to Married Life, and which make marriage 'a curse rather .than a blessing, Mr L..L.
