A PAR AD OX.— TO SUFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS :: ITS NATURE & CURE. What is ;Nery6usness?— 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 ;" it is sometimes only believed to be real when the patient is found to be dying or dead. The best answer to the question, probably, 1 is this — Net vousness- is an wrtnatural condition of the nervov* system. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompanied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesh and loss of strength ; but in most cases thereis in the' earlier stages of 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 \ 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 indjatinct, 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. — It r 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 neryorisriess vilbb've described ; unhappy ' themselves, : they render other people unhappy. Why is this ?l,W,hit cause has; operated to change the, cheerful, : active, obliging, unsuspecting, arid* uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, drowsy, listlest, suspicious, arid gloomy misanthrope? Many causes, or one cause only, may operate to produce this sad state ; tho cause may be, either mental or phypical, or both combined. ' A ttempts to Cure Nervousness by means of; ordinary tonics, have so frequently proved' fruitless that the leading physicians now for tho moßt part recommend hygienic means, such as exercise in the open air,' regjilar 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 Ansioer will be found by carefully perusing the Following Work:— Ninth Edition, post free Is 4d, NERVOUS, DEBILITYv ITS CAUSE AND CURE, With Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration to Health. : Applications for a copy of the above work must be accompanied by the^tribuhVin New Zealand' or other stamps, also a propeflydneoted envelope. > .> Address— •'■■■'■'-'■■'. ■■'■■ ■ > .;/.';;;-;:-!
