A PARADOX.— TO SUFFERERS, NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE & CURE. 7/hat 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 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, is this— Nervousness is an unnatural conditiiMoYtlKn^cffisysifcifiz Sometimes this unnatural state is 'accompanied with considerable 'Tx^y^weaKJess, "Toss 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 .i^Oflnj^qd^MftaJnsndij, 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 /heats, violently, the hand shakes when -writing,-and the whole frame at times expe: riences a complete tremulousneas. The intellect also is sometimes clouded, the i 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^SpectaclEj— l| ,is, certainly strange, but perfectly ' sane persons in the prime. of life, with firm step and healthy countenance, may occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessing allj 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 tbe cheerful^ active, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, drowsy, tistlest, 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. ■- ; :Attemptß>tOiCure Nerpoustfess'.byi means' of ordinary tonics haye 7 ' so ' frequently prttved 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 air and spene, as in travelling. If "air these fail, as they oftenido, what is to be done? if'; ■: < ? 4 ?f I ; \ ' The Answer will 'be found by carefully perusing the Following Work :— Ninth Edition, post free Is 4d, NERVOUS DEBILITY, ITS CAUSE AND CURE, for Perfect Restoration to Health.
