A PARAppxr-^Tp SUFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE & CURE. What is Nervousness?— Various answers might be. given to -this question, accordipg to the constitution and .knowledge of the in: .dividual. . Strong Ihealthy persons, whether medically edupated or riot,, 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 this— Netvousness w an «»- natural. condition of ifie nervom system. Some.times this unnatural state, is • accompanied witbi consideraijle, bodily, weakness, loss of . flesh and loss pi : strength; but" in most cases rthere is^ in the. earlier stages 1 of the disorder no outward sigp of weakness. The sufferei s are found in both; sexes ; they often havetbe 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 it, they 1 annoy other people about 'the"m erest trifles ; if they encounter soine person.; unexpectedly p they feel confused, afraid,' arid alarmed ; the heartbeats violently, 1 the^hand shakes when' writing, and the whole frame' at. times experiences a coriiplete ' tremulpusness. The intellect. , also is, sometimes clouded, the ! memory ' fails, the judgment becomes indistinct, tlie : will capricitfus 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 19 shunned, andbusinesa neglecfceH, ' .

"Up! Up, my friend, and clear your looks . Why aU this toiland trouble ?" ALL . those ,who are ; suffering from despondency, melancholia, loss of spirits, and pluck, who feel that they are wasting .and; piningi and who are, gradually getting weaker and weaker, from causes they have riot courage' or .desire, to acquaint their family attendant with. In all such 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. DrCulVerwell,,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 rib 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 influ--enee'-ofr-hot-oUraates,'but-frequently from other causes 01 a , more, serious nature. PalpitatioiiH or tlie Heart, a tendency also to be easily startled and alanried, is another phase of disoaae which 1 requires particular attention; as arising from^a most important cause ; those wiip.'suffer from the a 1 v-ro have not— L "'" ■'• ■"''' ' ■' '''; -"'"'• "Mix'a reason with pleasure, , Ana -wisdom with mirth." But have, ori tn& contirary, been guilty of a secret vice, woich has, as it were, eaten into their very viisus. Many -'-J old young men' consult nic, who, though young in years, have, througu tne vice' above alluded to, and from their having been quacked by the unqualified ana unskilful medical man, at last given lip all xippe .and- succumbed, and are aged in their yury youth, unfitted .to fulfil the duties wmen they were sent on this earth to penorm. "Be wisfewvaay,' Mas madness to defer, Procrastination is the thief of time." ; Mr;L. L.{sMlTH T wishes to impress on those who are laboring under diseases Vwhich cannot be treated by the general medical attendant,, troia insufficient knowledge and practice, thai> ms an expert in these diseases, he has the.nam; to warn the public at large against the nuinoer of blatant charlatons and quacks who . lion only extort the money out of the pockew; of the patients,* but are continually ruining xhe health of the unfortunate sufferers. Many hundreds yearly present themselves to mm from all the different colonies, who are ■cnOroughly bankrupt in health arid pocket, .ana they then lament, when too late, the homble deception which, has been practised on tnem. . . '■ t hot only do men deceive these" unfortunate victims by pretending to be legally-qualified men; but they advertise for sale, and swindle the public,' by selling bottles of muck, nnder the name of *'.^r Riconl's Essence, of Life,'' "Balm, of .tsvriacum," and a mass of other 'quackeries, wnose sole province is to extract ■ 'money-' but 'ot trie pockets of Ti their deluded victinis.
