U PARAD O-Xi-^O S'PFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS ; ITS NATURE & CURE. What is Nervousness? — Various answers might be given to this question, according to the constitution and knowledge of the individual. Strong healthy persons, whether medically educated pr not, generally regard nervousness as more or less an "imaginary complaint ;" it is sometimes only believed to be real when the patient is found tobe dvjuig or dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is .•this- ; - Nervousness is ah «M---liatural 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 no outward sign of weakness. The /sufferers are found in both sexes j they of ten 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 occasion; ally 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 rendei other people unhappy. Why is this ? Whai cause has operated to change the cheerful, active, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncom plaining. youth into the unhappy,, drowsy, nstlest, suspicious, and gloomy misanthrope ' causes, or one cause only, may operate produce this sad state ; the cause may b< either mental or physical, or both combined AttempUtO dure Nervousness by means o ordinary tonics shave so frequently provec fruitless that the leading physicians now fo< the most port recommend hygienic means such as exercise in 'the open air, regula habits,, sea bathing, the'cold bath friction change of air and scene, as in travelling.

Up, my friend, and clear your looks Why all this toil and trouble ?' r ALL those who are suffering from de spondency, melancholia, loss of spirits and pluck, who feel that they are wastinj and pining, and who are gradually gettin, weaker and weaker, from, causes they hay not courage or desire to acquaint their famil; attendant with. In all auch coses Mr L. £ SMITH feels it incumbent on' himself t inform such unfortunate patients, that h has devoted his lifetime to the study of thes complaints, having been a pupil and assist ant of the late Dr Culverwell, of London; wh made these diseases his special practice. In cases of extreme Nervous Debility where the patient feels that he is exhauste< and physically prostrated, arid . incapable o exertion without great fatigue, then an< there the person so situated .should atone consult Mr L. L. Smith before disease of . more serious character sets in; the abov arises frequently from the enervating influ ence of hot climates, but frequently froo other causes ot a more serious nature. Palpitations oi the heart, a tendency alsi to be easily startled and alarmed, is anothe phase of disease which requires particula attention, as arising from a most unportan cause ; those who suffer from the al tvo hav< not— -: ' • ■-' ' ■■'■- • ■ : ! " Mix'Q reason with pleasure, Ana wisdom, with mirth.'' . But have, on tne contrary, been; guilty of ; secret vice, wmoh has, as it were, eaten inti their very vitais. Many "old young men 1 consult me, wno, though young in years have, through tne vice above alluded to, am from their having been quacked bytheun qualified ana unskilful medical man, at las given up all nope and succumbed, and an aged; in then- very youth, unfitted to fulfi the duties wJ&tek they were sent on thii earth to pertorin. : .}, "Be wise to-day, 'tis madness to defer, Procrastination is the thief of time." Mr L. L. JSMITH wishes, to impress oi those who are laboring under diseases whicl cannot be treated by the general medica attendant, trocu insufficient knowledge anc : practice, that as an expert in these diseases he has the rigat to warn the public at larg< against the number of blatant charlatdns anc quacks who rioc only extort the. money oui of the pocket* of the patients, but are con tinually ruining the health of the unfortunate sufferers. &i*ay hundreds yearly preseni themselves to nim from all the different colo nies, who are thoroughly bankrupt in healtr and pocket, ana they then lament, when tot late, the hornDle deception which has been practised on zaeux. JN ot only ao men deceive these unfortunate victims by pretending to be legally-qualified men, but they advertise for sale, arid swindle the public, by selling bottles of muck, undei the name of "Or Ricord's Essence of Life,' " Balm, of SSYrtacum," and a mass of other quackeries, wnose sole province is to extract money out oi tbe pockets of their deluded victims. Will the puoiic never understand that the only guarantee tney can have that they will be honestly ami skilfully treated, is the fact that the peraou to whom they apply for advice is a legally-qualified medical man who has devoted ntt time to the branch of practice for whicn. the patient is seeking aid? Secondly, that ms long residence in the place, and his position, is at least a guarantee of the estimation in which he is neld by his fellow-citizeiiM. ' . ' Dr. L. ,L SMITH can be consulted by letter; fee, £L By the above means any male or female patient can, dv describing their symptoms, avoid the, in many cases j. unpleasantness of a personal interview, and the patient can retain his incognito, : Medicines , aypropriately packed to avoid observation are cent to all parts of the coloy nies, with plain letters of instruction as to' diet, &c. ..'■.-. j ... Mr L L. SMITH consults personally daily, mornings before 11, and evenings, betwjeen 7 and 9, 192 Bourke street east, Melbourne ; ..... ' „\ ' In all those diseases relating and pertaining toiMarried Life, and which make marriage a curse rather than ablessing, Mr L. L. SMITH can be consulted with the greatest certainty of ] success,] and with the additional feeling bh£t no chance can possibly occur . of their, ucret ever being divulged.
