A PARADOX. -TO SUFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE & QURE. What ts Nervouskess? — Various answers might be given to this question, according to the constitution and knowledge of the individual. Strong healthy persons, whether 5 medically educated or not,' generally regard i nervousness as more or leis an "imaginary complaint ;" it is sometimes only believed to be real when the patient is found to bo dying tor dead. .The bep^ answer to question, 'probably/ 5 is. an zm-, '*' imtural cbndit&)irbfithe.ncrvous%y\t£mhSoTnetimes this unnatural state is accompanied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of ' flesh and I6ss of strength ; but in most cases there is in the earlier stages of the disorder no,out\yard;6ign of weakness. The sufferers 1 are fonnd'in bx>th *exW j tjiey often have the bloom of health upon the cheek ; they are surroundexLby kintLfriendß, yet .existence tothein has no'channs, for ' iMy feel iltiat they 1 . , cannot enjoy it. Without intending it, they annoy Other people about the merest trifles ; if they encounter some person unexpectedly f they feelconfuspd, afraid, and-alartneft ; the heart'beak violently, : the hand flhakes when writing, and the whole frame at times expe-. riences a complete .tremulousness. The intellect also is sometimes clouded, the - 'memory fails, the judgment becomes indis-j K tinct, 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 if of- ! life become bnrdensome, society: is shunned, 'and business neglected. 11 ' 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 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 dep .
