A P ARAD. O S;^TO 'S OFFERERS} NERVOUSNESS : ITSNATURE & CURE.' What ia Nervousness?— Various answers might be given to this question, according to the. constitution and .inqwledge, of; the in| dividual. Strong healthy persons, "whether medically educated, or not, generally regard nervousness as "more or less an "imaginarj} complaint ;'? it is sometimes ,pnly. beUeyed .to be real when the patient is found to be dy^ih^ or dead. 1 The Vest answer tb 'the question,^ probably, is this— Neivousness is an un* imtural;condition-flft7ieneryou6 system. : Some-| [ times this unnatural state is . "with' cbnsiderable"bpdily. weakness, loss of flesh and loss of strength*; but in most cases there is in the earlier stages of the disordeq noloutWard sign of weakhess.' ': The sufferers are found in both sexes ; they often have the. bloonvtiE' health [upon ' the-, cheek;; .they are surrounded by kind, friends, yet existence to; them has no charms, for they feel that they! cannbtienjoyib.- Without intending! it, they! annoy other people about the merest trifles ;| ifthey encounter some person" unexpectedly!, [they feel confused, afraid, ; and alarmed j-i the] heart beats violently, the hand shakes, whenj writing]' and the whole frame at times experiences a complete . tremulousness. The| intellect also is sometimes clouded, thej memory fails; the judgment beebme^ indis-; tinct, the will. capricious, and -undecided, the; taste vitiated,, the imagination broods upon; unpleasant topics, the spirits are very low ori very excited, the ordinary duties of life be- \ come burdensome, society is shunned, andi business neglected.,.,, . ; .... . A Stange" Spectacle.— lt is certainly; strange, but not the less true, that perfectly ; 1 s^ne persons in the prime- of life, withvfirm) step and healthy- countenance, may occasion- 1 ally be met with, who, in spite of possessing ■ ; all 1 the advantages of education; ; 'religion, ! ample means, and kind friends, nevertheless . are victims of the nervousness above, ,de.-\ ' scribed; unhappy themselves, 'they fender ! othef people unhappy. Why is this ? What j cause has operated to change the cheerful, \ active, obliging, unsuspecting, and* -lihcom- ; • plaining youth into the unhappy,' drowsy, i lißtleat, suspicious,and gloomy. misanthrope ? ; ' Many causes, or one 'Cause only, may operate to jprbduce this sad state ; the may be either mental or phypical, or 'both combined. : A ttempts to Cure Nervousness ■. by means of ordinary tonics have so. frequently proved fruitless that the leading physicians'ndw for 1 the most part recommend hygienic means, such/a s exercise in the - open air, ; regular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath friction ; i change of air and scene, as in travelling. If ■ all these fail,' as they often do, what ,is to be .- done? '•'''■;. ' ' ' ''. ' '.

" - . j ALL those who are suffering from deXjL spondency, 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.
