4 PA-RADOX.— TO SPFFERERS.. _- , . ,-*';« NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE & QIJRE.; What is NERveusifiss?— Various answers' might be given, to: this question, according to the constitution and knowledge of the individual. Strong healthy personp, whether medically, educated or not, generally regard nervousness asimore or less 4 anf'-M imaginary complaint ;" it is ;sometimes,6nly believed to, beireal when the patient, is found to be dying, .or dead. The best answer to the" questipn,: probably, is iiitiß—Neivousness is cwf, /unnatural condition of the nervous systeiiu.piova^times 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 .that theycannot 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 c heart beats violently, the hand shakes when" writing, and the whole frame at times expe-. riences a complete tremulpusness. 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 vervlpw or very excited, the 'ordinary of lifebe-j come burdensome, society' is shunned, and. business neglected. : ■■* r. :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 occasion-" ally be met with, who, in spite of possessing; all .the advantages of education, religion, ample means, and kind friends, nevertheless" are victims of the nervousness above jde; 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 ; thocause 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 traveUing. •If all these fail, as they often' do, what is to be. done,? „'.-■' . , ■•-.•; - ■■■■■: ; The Answer . loill he fomid by carefully, perusing : J5/te Following Work: — „ ..',.'

Up, my friend, and clear your looks Why all this toil and trouble ?" A LL those who are suffering frbm. t dejLA.'. spondeney, melancholia, loss of spirits, and pluck, who feel that they are wasting and pining, and who are gradually getting weaker and. weaker, from causes they have not courage or desire to acquaint their family : attendant with. In all 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 Dr Culverwell, 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 feeUng that no 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 influence of hot climates, but frequently from other causes* ota more- serious nature. Palpitationa 01 the hear);, a tendency also to be easily startled and alarmed, is another phase of diseaße which requires particular attention, as arising from' a most important . cause ; those wno suffer from the ai*vohave NOT— M Mixa reason wjthpleasure, And wisdom with mirth." ' But have, on me contrary, been guilty, of a. secret vice, wnicn has, as it were, eaten.into, their very vitaiß. Many "old young men' consult me, wno, though young in years, have, througto cno vice above alluded to, and from their havine; been quacked by the unqualified ana unskilful medical man, at last given up. all nope and succumbed, and are aged in their vyry youth, unfitted to fulfil the duties wnlch they were sent on this earth to penorm. • . !. "Be wise to-day, 'tis madness to defer, '. Procrastination is the thief of time." ; Mr L. L. UMITH wishes to impress on those, who are laboring under diseases which cannot be treated . by ■ the general ; medical attendant, tiuui insufficient knowledge' and' practice, thav »s an expert in these diseases, he has the rijtrn; to warn the public; at large against the nuioper of blatant charlatons and quacks who hoc only extort the money out of the pockew of the patients, but are continually ruining the health of the unfortunate sufferers. , Many hundreds yearly present themselves to mm from all the different colonies, who are tnoroughly bankrupt in health and pqcket, ana they thenilamentj when. too late, the horrible deception which has been practised on tnem. ; , : . ;;'' - only ao 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* 'under the name of " Dr Ricord's Essence of Life," fC ßahnpf tsyriacum," and a mass of other quackeries, wnose sole province is to extract money out ot tne pockets of their deluded victims, 1 : Will the puoiic never understand that the only guarantee cney \can have „ that they will be honestly ana skilfully treated, is the fact that the person to .whom they ;.apply. for advice is a legally-qualified medical man who has devoted nltt:timrto-the branch ..of practice for whica the patient is seeking aid ? Secondly, that nis long residenceinihe place, and his position, is at least a guarantee of the estimation m which he is held by his fellow-citizeim. Dr. L. U SMITH can be consulted by letter; fee, £L .' By the above means any nijJe^pr female patient can, ov describing their Symptoms, avoid the, in ihany cases, unpleasantness, of a personal interview, and the patient can retain his incognito; ' .' ' Medicines appropriately packed to avoid observation are sent to all parts of the colonies, with jpjain letters of instruction as tc diet, &c Mr L. L. SMITH consults personallj daily, mornings before 11, and evenings between 7, and 9. 192 Bourke street eastj Melbourne.
