In one. instance, married life can be made a '''blessing'^arid a ' joy, ; and' in the other, a misery, self-reprpachj and degradation. Dr.; L.

A PARADOX.— TO SUFFERERS. NERVptJSNESS rI^^URE^yRE. 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 more or less an "imaginary complaint j" 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— Neivoumess is an iiaturalconditimqft7ie7ierv<^ayßteih.^Spmetimes 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 ; they often have the bloonv of heilth upon the :<sheek ; they are by,.kind;friendß| 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 j if they encounter some person unexpectedly they feel confused, afraid, and alarmed ; the heart, beats violently, the hand shakes when writings and the whole frame at times experiences a complete tremulousness. 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, Stanqe,^SpeojacjuE.,— jtfc, is. , certainly strange, but 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 tbe cheerful, active, obliging, unsuspecting, and' uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, drowsy, lißtlest, suspicious, and 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, r iy^wyw^Tby'ineansldf ordinary 'tonics have so frequently *pr6vfed fruitless that the leading physicians now for the most part recommend hygienic mean's, such as exercise in the open air, regular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath friction ; change of air and scene, as }n travelling. Ifall these fail, as they often .do, what is to be done? ■ . i '. y .; ■ Tlie Answer tvill be'jfbund by carefully perusing the Folloioing Work :, — !
