, \ PARAD6i.^I'U saFFEREJSS. NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE & CURIS. , What is Nervquskess?— Various ausweis might be given .to this question, according to the constitution and^knowledge of the individual. Strong healthy persons, whether medically educated or ''hb'tj generally regkd ; liervoußneß's ;: aß more or less an complaint ;" it is sometimes ouly believed' to be.real when the patient is found to be dying or dead. The best answer to the queslibn.- : probably, vis this— lfeivousness is an toi■natural, condition ofltlie nervous system. Sometimes tbis'i-unhatufaTrstate 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 Bign 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 they cannot enjoy it. Without intending it, they annoy other, people about' the merest triflbs ;' '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 expediences a complete ,tiemulousness. The intellect also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, the judgment becomes indistinct, the will capriciouß*and undecided, the *taste vitiated, the imagination broods upon unipleasant topics, the'spirits are very low- or '-Very excited, the ordinary duties of life become burdensome, society is shunned, and ■business neglected. '„'■-. ' '■'-A Stange VSpectacle. —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 becasibn.laily, be met with, who, in spite of, possessing .ajlthe advantages of " education, /relUapn,, raniple means, and kind friends, nevertheless '•are victims of the rieryousness ' above jie"Bcribed ; unhappy themselves, they render other people unhappy. ; iWhy 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 caiise only, may operate . to.' produce this sad state; the cause may! be either mental or phyeical, or both combined. '' Attempts to Cure Nervousness by'm eaiis | °f ordinary tonics have so frequently proved fruitless that the 'leading physicians now for ■, the Imost part .recommend hygienic meaiis, . such as exercise, in: the open air, regular . . habits, ' Bea '^ batfiinfo'Jhe^cbtd :Jbsth'. friction ; 'clange of ajr and scene, as in travelling. !If all these failpaa they often do, what is to) be done? : i ( The Answer will be found by carefully perusing the Fplfowing ffiork : — « T ; Ninth Edition, post free Is 4d, NERVOUS DEBILITY.
