j A PARADOX.^Tb ! S OFFERERS. ; ____ ... • NERVOUSNESS :ITS NATURE & CURE,; ; WiAT is NERveusNESs?-^ Various answers : might be given to this question, according to the constitution and knowledge: of; the individual. Strong healthy persons, whether medically educated or not, , generally regard nervousness' as more or less/ an J " iitoaginary' complaint}" it is sometimes only believed to be real whehithe patient is found to be dying or dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this— Nervousness, is an unnatural .condition of the nervous system. Sometimes 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 rib outward sign of weakness. The suffe'rera 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 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, 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 render other people unhappy. , Why 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 cause only, may operate to produce this sad state ; the cause may be ■ either mental prphypical, or>both combined. Attempts 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 habit's, 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 I 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 getting weaker and weaker, from causes they have not courage or desire to acquaint their family attendant with. In all Buch 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, haying been a. pupil and assistant of thelate Dr Culverwell, of London, who made these diseases his special 1 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 of a more serious nature. Palpitations ot the heart, a tendency- also to be easily startled and alarmed, is another phase of disease which requires particular attention, as arising from a most important cause ; those wno suffer from the ai we have NOT— "Mix'a reason with pleasure, . - f ; < Ana wisdom with mirth. " : ; .i \'• < J " But have, on tne. contrary., been guilty of a secret vice, wnlch has, as it were, eaten into their very vitais. Many "old young men' consult me, wno, though young in years, have, througn tne vice above alluded to, and from their having 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 wnlch they were sent on this earth to penorm. • ' <k Be wise to-day, 'tis madness to defer, Procrastination is the thief of time." MrL. L: SMITH 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 as an expert in these diseases, he has the rignt to warn the public at large against the numoer of blatant charlatons and quacks who not only extort the money out of the pocket* of the patients, T)u't are continually ruining the 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 honiDle deception which has Veen practised oh tneih. JNot only ao men deceive these unfortunate victims, by pretending to be legally-qualified men, but they advertise for Sale, 1 and swindle the public, by. selling bottles ,pf muck, under the name of " Or Ricord's Essence of Life," "Balm _of iSyriacum," and a mass of other quackeries, wnose sole province is to extract money out ot the pockets of their deluded victims. ■- , i Will the puDlic 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 a legally-qualified medical man who has devoted his time to the branch of practice for whicn the patient is 1 seeking aid? Secondly, that ms long residence in the place, iand-bia position, 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 j fee, £1. . By the abov« 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 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. L. HMITH consults personally daily, mornings before 11, and evenings between 7 and 9. 102 Bourke street east, Melbourne ,- . , .-. , , In all those diseases relating and pertaining to Married Life, and \\rhich make marriage a' curse rather than.a blessing,;' Mr X. ; L. SMITH can be' consulted with the greatest certain Ly of success, and with;the additional feeling •that' no chance can possibly occur of their seoret ever being divulged.
