A PARADOX.— TO SUFFERERS.! NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE & CURE, i What ts Nervousness?— Various answers, might be given' to this question, according; to the constitution and. knowledge of the in- 5 dividual. Strong healthy persons, whether; | medically educated or not; generally regard; nervousness as more or less an. " imaginary^ complaint ;" it is sometimes. only believed ;tojj be real when the patient is found to be dying! or dead. • The best answer to the question,! probably, : is thm —Net vousness is an un-\ natural condition of the nervous system. Some-; times this unnatural state is accompaniedwith considerable bodily weakness, loss off flesh and loss of strength:; but inmost cases' there is in the earlier stages of .the disorder; no outward sign of weakness. The sufferers! are found ia 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 theyi cannot enjoy it. Without intending it, theyj annoy other people about the merest trifles ;j if they encounter some person unexpectedlyi they feel confused, afraid, and alarmed ; the' heart beats violently, hand shakes when' writing, and the whole frame, at times expe-j riences a complete tremulousness.; , .-The; intellect also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, this judgment becomes indis-', 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 of life be-, come burdensome, society is' shunned, and;business neglected. v ' : ' '.' .) A Stange Spectacle.— It is certainly! strange, but not the 'less true, that perfectly! sane persons in the prime 1 of life, with firm; step and healthy countenance, may occasion-; ally be mot withi whoji in- spitepf possessing all the advantages of education, religion,; ample means; :and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of the ; nervousness above de-j scribed ; unhappy, themselves, . ,they render other people unhappy. Why. is this ? ; What; cause has operated to change the cheerful, 1 active, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, drowsy, ustlest, suspicious, and gloomy misanthrope I Many causes, or one cause only, mayoperate; to produce this sad state ; the cause, may be either mental or physical, or both combined.A ttempta to Cure Nervoiimm 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 ? . .

" Up ! Up, my friend, and clear yotir 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 getting weaker 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 ib 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 ot a more serious nature. Palpitations m the heart, a tendency also to be easily startled and alarmed," is another phase of disoaße which requires particular attention, as arising from a most important cause ; those wno suffer from the a 1 nvohave NOT—.- . ..-•.;■ • '• . _ „, ;: - : _, ■• " Mix'a reason with pleasure, Ana vnsdom with mirth." But have, on tne contrary, been guilty of a 'secret vice, w&ichhas, as it were, eaten into their very vitaia. Many "old young men' consult me, wno, though. young in years, have, througn tne vice above alluded to, and from their havms; been quacked by the unqualified ana unskilful medical man, at last given up all nope and succumbed, and are aged in their very youth, unfitted to fulfil the duties wMch" they we're sent on this earth to penormw lv Be wise TO-day, 'tis madness to defer, Procrastination is the thief of time." MrL. L. SMITH wishes to impress on those who are laboring under diseases which 'cannot bo treated by the general medical attendant, troia insufficient knowledge and practice, that as an expert; in these diseases, he has the rignii to warn the public at large against the number -of blatant eharl&'tona and quacks who not only extort the money out of the pocket;* of the- patients, but are continually ruining the health of the unfortunate sufferers. Many hundreds yearly present themselves to mm from all the different color nies, who are tnoroughly bankrupt in health and pocket, ana they then lament, when too late, the horriole deception which has been practised on tnein. ■-■_■[■■. -\ JNot only ao men deceive these unfortunate victims by pretending to be . legally-qualified men, but they jtavertise for sale, and swindle the public, by selling bottles of muck, under the name of •♦ Or Ricord's Essence of Life," " Balm of bytiacum," and a mass of other quackeries, wnose sole province is to extract money out ot tne pockets of their deluded victims. . ' Will the puollc never understand that the only guarantee tney can have that they will be honestly ana skilfully treated, is the fact that the person to whom they apply for advice is alegaiiy-qualified medical man who has devoted liis time to the branch of practice for whica the patient is seeking aid! Secondly, that ms long residence in the place, and his position, is at least a guarantee of the estimation m which he is -held. by his fellow-citizeuv. • Dr. L. L. SMITH can be consulted by letter; fee, £L ■; By the above means any male or female patient can, ov describing their symptom^ avoid the, in many cases, unpleasantness of a personal interview, and the patient can retain his incognito, ' ' • Medicines appropriately packed to avoid observation are sent to' all parts of the colonies, with piain letters of instruction as t) diet, &c. Mr L. L. H.tflTH consults personally daily, mornings before 11, and evenings be} tween 7 and 9. 192 Bourke street east, Meljbourne ? ! In all those diseases relating and pertaining to Married Life, and which make marriage ; \ curse rather than a blessing, Mr L. L." SMITI C can be consulted with the greatest certaint; r of success, and with the additional feelin, ; that no chance can possibly occur of thei ' ' secret ever being divulged.
