A | PARADOX,— TO S COFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE & CURE. /What Tg Nervousness?— Various answers might be given to this question, according to the constitution arid knowledge of the individual. Strong healthy persons, whether medically educated or not, generally regard nervousness as more or , less an " imaginary complaint ;" ifc i 3 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— Ncivousness is an unnatural condition of the nervous system. Sometimes this ivnnatural state is accompanied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesh and loss of strength ; but in most cases there is in the earlier stages o£ the disorder no outward sign of weakness. The sufferers "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 j 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 vevv 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 'tr'tie* 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, liatlest, suspicious, and gloomy misanthrope ? Many causes, or one cause only, may operate to produce this sad state ; the cause may be either mental or physical, or both combined. A ttevwts to Cure Nervousness by ineatis 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 ajr and scene, as in travelling. If all these fail, as they often do, what is to be done? The Anstoer loill be found by carefully 2>erusing the Following Work: — i .

"Up I Up, my friend, and clear your looks Why all this toil and trouble f r ; 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 oaußes they- have not courage or desire to acquaint their family attendant with. In all such cases Mr L; '•. SMITH feels ife 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 01 a more serious nature. Palpitations or the heart, a tendency also to be easily startled and alarmed, is another phase of diseaae which requires particular attention, as arising from a most important cause j those wno suffer from the a 1 vmhave" NOT— "Mix"areason*with. pleasure,--- 1 Ana wisdom "with mirth." ' But have, on me contrary, been guilty 0! a secret vice, wnich. has, as it were, eaten into, their very, vitaw. Many "old young men' consult me, wno, though young in years, have, through sue 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 then- vury youth, unfitted to fulfil the duties wnicli they were sent on this earth to penortn. : •'Be .wise to-day, %s, madness to defer, Procrastination is the thief of time." Mr L. . L. SMITH wishes to impress on those who are laboring under diseases which cannot be treated- by the general medical I attendant,, trow insufficient knowledge; and practice, thai> as an expert in these diseases, ne has the ngnt.to. warn the public at large., against the nutnoer of blatant charlatpns and quacks who not only extort the money out of the pockew of the patients, but are continually raining the health of the unfortunate sufferers. M.\ny hundreds yearly present themselves to mm from all the different colonies, who are tnoronghly bankrupt in health and pocket, ana they then lament, when too late, the horrible deception which 'has been practised on tnein; JNot only ao men deceive these unfortunate victims; by pretending to be legally-qualified men, but they advertise for sale, and swindle the public, by gelling. bottles of muck, under; the name of '*♦ .Or Ricofd's Essence of Life," "Balm of iSyriacum," and a mass of other quackeries,- wnbse sole proviuce is to.extract money out ot tne pockets of their deluded, victims. Will the public never understand that the only guarantee tney can have that they will be honestly ana skilfully treated, is the fact that the peraou to whom they apply for advice is a legally-qualified medical man who has devoted lus time to the branch of practice for whicn. the patient is seeking aid? Secondly, that ms long residence in the place, and Mtf position, is at least a guarantee of the estimation m which he is held by his fellow-citizen*. Dr. L. L SMITH can be consulted by letter; fee, JKI, . By the above means any male or female patient can, ny describing thoir symptoms, avoid the, in many cases, unpleasantness of a personal interview, and the patient can-re-tain his incognito. :.. : ■- Medicines appropriately packed to avoid observation aro sent to all parts of the cola? nies, with piaia letters of instruction as to diet, &c.
