"\ P AEAD 0 X.'— TO S UFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS :.MnaTU.RE.&,CURE. What is NerWuskess '—Various answers might be given to, this question, accordmg to the constitution and knowledge of the individual. , Strong. healthy, persons, whether medically educated or not,, generally regard nervousness as more or less an "imaginary complaint ;" it is spmetimes.only believed to be real when the patient is found to be dying or: dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this— NeiVQumess ia an unnatural condition pf.ilie npryoussystpm. Spmer times this unnatural .state is accompanied with considerable bodily weakneaa, loss of fleshandloss of strength ;-but-in-mo9t- eases there is in the earlier stages of the disorder no.outward.sign of weakness. , The sufferers .are^found inbotibi sexes-jr they. often have the . bloom of health upon the cheek; they are surrounded by kind fnends,. : yet existence to them has no* charms,' 'fdr they feel that they cannot 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 becomes indistinct, .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 of life become burdensome, society is shunned, and .business.neglected. 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 occasionally be met with,, w.hp^jn, spite of possessing all the advantages of education, religion, ample-means, and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of the nervousness above described ; unhappy themselves, they render other people unhappy. WhyisLthis? What cause has, operated to change ( the cheerful, active, obliging, unsuspecting, , and uncomplaining; youth-tinto ithe^tinhappj,, drowsy, ustlest, suspicious, and gloomy misanthrope ? Many causes, or, one cause bnlyV mayoperate to produce this sad state ; the cause may be either mental or physical, or •both, combined. -" Attempts to. CureJtervoumeM. 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 travelling. If all these fail, .as they often do, what is .to be done? .;'■■ .-■•:. ■'•■:.

ALL .those, who are > suffering, from despondency, melancholia, loss ofspirits, 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 .auch 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 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 (iHiaates, but .frequently" from other causes oi a more se.riouß. nature. Palpitationa ot the heart, a tendency also to be easily, startled and alanried, is another phase of disease which requires particular attention, as arising from a most . important cause ; those wno suffer from the alwe have NOT— .; -.'.«■: " Mix'a reason with pleasure, ' : And wisdom "with mirth," ■ I But have, on me contrary, been guilty of a secret vice, wnlch has, as it were, eaten into their very vitals. Many "old young men' consult me, wno, though young in years, haye, througn .tne.vice above alluded ,to, and from their having been quacked by the unqualified and unskilful medical man, at last given up all nope and succumbed, and are aged in their very -youth, unfitted to fulfil the duties wnlch they were sent on this earth to penornu "Be wise w)-day, 'tis madness to defer, . Procrastination is the thief of time." Mr L. L. &MITH, wishes, to impress on those who are laboring under diseases which cannot be treated by the general medical attendant, trom insufficient knowledge and practice, thai; as an expert in these diseases, he has the ngnt to warn the public at large against the nuinoer of blatant charlatons and quacks who hot; only extort the; money out of the pockecx of the patients, but are continually ruining the health of the unfortunate sufferers. Many hundreds yearly present themselves to aim from all the different colonies, who are thoroughly bankrupt in health and pocket, ana they then lament, when too late, the horrible deception which has been practised on/cnem. JNot pnlyao men deceive these unfortunate victims by pretending; to be legally-qualified men) but they advertise for sale, and swindle the public, by Belling bottles of muck, under the name, of •• l)r Ricbrd's Essence of Life," •'Balm of bynacum," and a mass of other quackeries, wnose sole province is to extract money out ot the pockets of their deluded victims.' Will the puoiic never understand that the only guarantee tney can have that they will be honestly ana skilfully treated, is the fact that this ' person 'to whom they apply ■ for advice is a legally-qualified medical man who has devoted Ms time to the branch of practice for whicn. the patient is seeking aid? Secondly, that nis long residence ia the place, and' bis. positlou, is at least a guarantee of the estimation In which he is held, by his fellow-citizen)*. . ... .• Dr; L. L. SMITH can be consulted by letter; fee, £L • By the above means any male or female patient can, dv. describing. their symptoms^ avoid the, in many oases, unpleasantness.ofa personal interview, and the patient can retain his incognito, . Medicines appropriately packed to avoid observation are sent to all parts of the colonies, with plain letters of,> instruction as to diet, &c. ■■/! Mr L. Il HMITH consults personally daily, mornings before 11, and evenings between 7 and 9. 192 Bourke street east, Mel' bourne. 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 no chance can possibly occur of their secret ever -being divulged,
