; A PARADO,X <t rTO<:S OFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS : IT^S NATURE &CURE. i What is Nbrv©uskjess '—Various answers might be given to this question, according ito, the .constitution and knowledge of the individual! ' Strong 'healthy persons, whether medically educated or not, generally^ regard jiervousness as more or; less an "iinagiriary complaint;" it is sometimes only believed to be real when the patient is found to be dying or dead. The best answer to the question,, probably, ' is ' this— Neivousnm is an' «#•? )iatural condition of the newous system. Some- 4 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 _oE health upon the cheek ; they are surrounded by kind frieridsj yet existence to them has no charms} for they-f eel 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 sliakes when writing, arid 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 verVlpw" or very excited, the ordinary duties of life be, - come 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, iriay occasionally 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 described; unhappy themselves, "they rerider! other people unhappy. - jWhyyisthis? What cause has operated .tQj'change, the cheerful, active,- obliging, unsuspecting, and uncomplaining youth into the unliappy, drowsy, fistlest, suspicious, and gloomy, riiisanthrope ? Many causes, or one cause only, may operate to,prpduce r this sad state ;. the. cause jaiay;))e either mental or physical, or both combiued. A ttempts 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 travelling. ;': If all these fail, as they often do,:what is to be done? •_ ■..=• • ■ • ;• The Answer will be found by carefully perusing tlie Following Work >—■■..

"Up! Up, my friend, and clear your looks Why all this toil and trouble ?" ■• ■ ■ !. ALL those who are suffering from despondency, melancholia, loss of spirits, . and pluck, who feel that they are wasting and pining, and who are gradually gettingweaker and weaker, from causes they have not courage or desire to acquaint their family attendant with. In all such 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 climates, but frequently from other causes or a more serious nature. Palpitations oi the heart, a tendency also to be easily startled and alarmed, :j is another phase of diseaue which requires particular attention, as arising from a most important cause ; those wno suffer from the a 1 yre have. not— . . ..- . , " Misra reason with pleasure, Ana wisdom with mirth." ; But have, on zm contrary, been guilty of , a ■secret vice, wMch has, as it were, eaten into their very vitais. Many "old young men' consult me, wno, though young in years, have, througu tne vice above alluded to, and from their havintj been quacked, by the unqualified ana unskilful medical man, at last ; given up all. nope and succumbed, and are "aged iri'theii:- Very youth, unfitted to fulfil tne duties .wMcn, they were 1 sent on this earth to peho-rm. "Be wise to-day, 'tis madness to defer, : Procrastination is the ttiief of time." Mr L. L. JSMITH wishes to impress on those who aro laboring under diseases which cannot be treated by the general . medical attendant, trom insufficient knowledge and' -practice, that ms an expert in these diseases, £he has the njtnt to warn the public at large 'against the number of blatant charlatoris and quacks who npc only extort the money out of the pocket* of the patients, but are continually ruining tne health of the unfortunate sufferers;- -Many hundreds yearly present themselves to mm from all the different colonies, who are tnoroughly bankrupt in health and pocket, ana they then lament, when too late, the horrible deception which has been practised on linem. JNot onlyao men deceive these unfortunate victims by pretending to be legally-qualified itnen, but tney advertise for sale, and swindle Tthe public, 'by selling bottles of muck, under the name of " .Dr Ricord's Essence of Life," "Balm of fcjynacum," and a mass of other quackeries, wnose sole province is to extract money out of the pockets of their deluded victims. Will the puoiic never understand that the only guarantee tney can have that they will be honestly aria skilfully treated, is the fact that the person to whom they apply for , advice is a legally-qualified medical man who has devoted, nut time to the branch of practice for whica line patient is seeking aid? Secondly, that nis long residence in the place, and his position, is at least a guarantee of the estimation in which he is neld by his fellow-citizeiitt. ■„'■• • „ Dr, L. L, SMITH can be consulted by letter; fee, -gi. : V .., ; By the' aboy« means any male or female patient can, dv describing their symptoms, avoid the, in many cases, unpleasantness of a personal interview, ,and the patient can retain his Incogriroo, " ' ■ '• Medicines appropriately packed to avoid observation are sent to all parts' of the colonies, with piam letters of instruction as to diet, &c. Mr L. ,L. consults personally daily, moriiirigs" before 11,' and evenings between 7 and 9. 192 Bourke street east, Melbourne 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.
