A P ARAD O X.r-TO. SUFFERERS. ... .../■"— '■'■ iW ""'- NERyOUSNE^S/riTSNATURE «s CURE.; j What is Nervousness?— Various answer^ might be' given 'tb this questibn,; according to the constitution and knowledge of the individual. Strong healthy persons, whether educated or not, generally; regard nervousness as more or .less an •' imaginary complaint ;" itiis sometimes bnly b'elifived to bfc real when'the patient is found to be dying, ot dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this— Nervousness is ariuhtvatural conditumofthe tterv&wa system. Some-' times this unnatural state is accompanied !w,ith : considerable : bodily weakness,, loss , of -flesh and loss of strength.; but in most cases there is in the earlier stages of the disorder Wp out^afd sign ofweakness. 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 iVthey 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 : \mting, and the whole frame at' times expe- : riences a complete • tremulousness. .The intellect also ; is sometimes clouded, the. n^emory fails, the judgment becomes indistjnet, 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 heroine- burdensome, society is shunned, and , business neglected. • ; ' I A Stange Spectacle. -It 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 ill the .adyantages /of education, religion, ample means, and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of the nervousness above described ; unhappy themselves, they render 6ther. people unhappy. . Why is this? has operated to change the cheerful, actiye, obliging, 1 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 ; tho causemay be either mental or phy>ical, 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-?: : --i : :1;.:'-.V^ •..
