What is NerVousness?— Various answers might be given to this .question, according to the constitution and knowledge of the individuaL Strong healthy pertons, whether medicallyveducated or not, generally Regard; nervousness as more or less an "imaginary complaint ;" it is sometimes only believed to be real when the patientis found to be dying or. dead. ,The .best - : answer tp^the question, probably, is this— Nervousness is an «»• natuidl conttition oftlte nervous system. Some-| times this. unnatural state is accompanied! wiiu considerable bbdily "-- weakness, loss of jiesbJ-atid loss of strength^ but ixi most cases there is in the earlier stages of th^ .disorder^ ho outward sign of weakness. The 'sufferers are Jbuhd in both sexes ; jthey often have tlie bloom of health upon the cheek;; .they. are. surrounded by kind friends, yet existence to" them hasno charms, for they feel, that .they cannoj;. 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 heart beats 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 becomesjindistinct, the will capricious and undecided, the .taste vitiated, the 'imaginatibh^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 notthe -lesstruep thatperfectly* sane persons in, ( theprirae rt ot;life, with firm step and healthy 'countenance may occasion^., ■ally be met with7\sio, in spite/of possessing* 'all the advantages " of education, relip^n,/ jample means, and kind' friends, nevertheless. ;are 'victim's ; of the nervousness ■ de■scribed ; unhappy themselves,' < they render other< people unhappy. Whyis thiSi?;oWhat :cause has operated to change^ thel cheerful, -active, obliging, unsuspecting, • and' uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, . dwfcsy, iUstlest, suspicious,- and gloomy misanthrope ? f Many causes, or one cause!only/may operate to produce this sad state ; the cause may be either mental or phy?ical,orboth. combined. Attempts to Cure Nervousness by means of •ordinary tonics have-so.. frequently proved Ifruitless thatthe leading physicians nowtfor <the most part recommend hygienic means, isuch as exercise in! the open air, regular ■habits,-, sea ; bathing, the.cold bath friction ; change of air and scene, as in travelling.

In aU 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 JOr Culven^ell, 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 ratherth ? ah'a blessing, Mr L.'L.

' ' * j - - >; I In casesof 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 of a more serious nature. Palpitation^ or the heart, a tendency also to be easily startled and alanried, is another phase ( of» diseaee which, requires particular attention, as arising from a most important^ cause ; those wno suffer from the a 1 tco have NOT— . .• ..'.'.'.'.

Many hundreds- yearly present ; themselves to mm from all the different coloinies, who are tnoroughly bankrupt in health and pocket, ana they then lament, when, too 'late, the horrible deception which has been practised on them.
