-\ -PAR AD 0 -XHEd- S V FPERITRS7 NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE & CURE. V/hat is Neiiv»usness ?— Various answers night be given to this question, according bo the constitution and knowledge of the inlividual. Strong healthy persons, whether medically educated or not, generally regard nervousness as more; or less an "imaginary Bomplaint ;"it is sometimes only believed > to' be rearwhehthe patient is found to be dying or dead. The best answer to the question} probably, is this— Neivousness is an «»• natural condition of the nervous system. Sometimes this, unnatural state is accompanied with, considerable bodily weakness^ loss of fiesh and loss of strength j but in. most, cases there is'in the'earlier stages of the disorder < ho outward sign of weakness. The sufferers are found in both sexes ; they often have the bloom 'of health upon the cheek j'they are surrounded by -kind friends, yet existence to them has no charms, for they feel that tb(ey cannot, en joy it. Without intending it, they annoy other people about the merest Miles ; 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' tremuloushess. The intellect also is sometimes- clouded,^ the memory fails, the judgment, becomes indistinct, ther 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, Ustlest, 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. Atfemvts'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, 6ubh 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 the Follmoing Work: — Ninth Edition, post free Is 4d, NERVOUS DEBILITY; ITS CAUSE AND CURE, With Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration to Health.

'■'■ Up ! Up, my friend, and clear your looks Why all this toil and trouble ?" ALL those who are suffering from de- - 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. In all Buch case's 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 thelateDr 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. 1 ".'•., . . Palpitations or the heart, a tendency also to be easily startled and alarmed, is another phase of disuaße which requires particular attention,- as arising from a most important cause-; those wno suffer from the al wo have NOT—' :-- : ■ ■■• : - ; -' :■ "" ;: "- -' : :- : ' - " Mix'a reason with pleasure, - . ; : m Ana vnsdom with mirth." ■?•■' But have, on xne contrary, been guilty of a^ secret vice, wixlch 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 hayine; been quacked by the unqualified ana unskilful medical man, at last given up all nope and . succumbed, and are aged in their very y'outh^ unfitted to fulfil the duties wnlcn they were sent on this earth to periorm; '■. • " Be wise to-day, 'tis 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 attendant, troia insufficient knowledge and practice, that »s an expert in these diseases, he has the rignt to warn the public at large against the nuinoer of blatant charlatons and quacks who not only extort' the money out of the pocket* of the patients, but are con-: tinually 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 horrible deception which has been practised on tnein. ' JN ot only ao men deceive these unfortunate victims by pretending to be legally-qualified men, but they auvertise for sale, and swindle ; the public, by selling bottles of muck, under the name of **M>r Ricord's Essence of Lif«s" "Balm of &yriacum," and a mass of other quackeries, wnose sole province is to extract money out ot the pockets of their deluded victims. ; Will the public never understand that the only guarantee tney can have that they will be honestly ami 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 whica the patient, is seeking aid 1 Secondly, that ms long residence in the place, and his position, is at least a guarantee of the estimation m which he is lield by his fellow-citizenti. Dr. L. L. SMITH can be consulted by letter; fee, £L By the above means any male or. female patient can, 6v 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 color nies, with piam letters of instruction as to diet, &c. , ; : K ; Mr L L SMITH consults personally daily, mornings before 11, and evenings between 7 and 9; • ' 192 Bourke street east} Melbourne, „...■-.. ■■ ■ -.■-. • ■.;■■ '■-„ '■ ■ ;. •: / ■■■•;' i In all those diseases relating and pertaining to Married Life, and which make, marriage a curse rather than ablessing, Mr L.
