mo THE N BEVO U"S. To those who suffer from Debility. ' To thoße whom Married Life is a-burdenj To those who desire to enter into the Marriage Contract. To those who have tried their family medical adviser without the desired relief. And to those who suffer from Spermatorrhoea, and other fearful results of indiscretion in youth. Dr. L/li.SMlTH'begs"to state he has devoted the whole of His life to the study and treatment of Syphilitic Diseases, and having successfully, practised during the last twenty yeajsittrthe colony, he suggests to all new arrivals the expediency of throwing off any false delicacy or modesty, and to at once apply and obtain that relief which their case requires, before the disease becomes utterly incurable, and the unfortunate victim totally impotent. In one instance, married life can be made a blessing and a joy, and in the other, a misery, self-reproach, and degradation. '/••'Dr£LT,LV SMlTH may^aibiY^c^OTnt out,' that he is the only legally-qualified medical man practising in these cases, and warns the public from applying to other advertising' medical men, as a mere glance at the medical register will show them to be impostors, preying upon the lives and pockets of suffering humanity.

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 or not, generally regard nervousness as mor^e or ; less ah " imaginary complaint;" it is sometimes only believed to be real when the patient is found to be dying or dead. The best answerto the question,, probably, is ' this— N& vousness is an, ;^»-- natural condition of the' nervous system. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompanied ; with considerable bodily weakness, foas 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 ; they often have the bloom of health upon the cheek; they, are surrounded by kind friends, yet eidstenceto 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 time's experiences; a complete rtremiulousness. 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 c , Spectacle. —lt is certainly, strange, but not the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime, of life, with firm, step and. healthy cpuntenance, 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 render other people unhappy. Why is this ? What cause has operated to change the cheerful, active, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncbm-. plaining youth into the unhappy, drowsy, liatlest, suspicious,' and gloomy misanthrope ? Many causeß, or one cause only, may operate to produce this sad state ; the cause may be either mental or phyricaL or both combined. .- Attempts to Cure Nervousness by meanVof ordinary tonics have so frequently proved fruitless that the leading physicians now for the most part recommend hygienic means, 6uch as exercise in the open air, regular .habits, sea bathing, the cold bath friction ;. change of air and scene, as in travelling^ If 1 all these fail, as they often do, what is to be ddne? The Answer will be found; by carefuUy. •perusing the Following Work:— Ninth Edition, post free Is 4d, NERVOUS DEBILITY, ITS CAUSE AND ; .
