I&.RAD od-^tO S FiJIERJEIk NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE & CURE. What is Nervousness?— Various answers might be given to this question, according tp the constitution and knowledge of the individual' Strong healthy persons, whether medically educated or not, generally regard nervousness as more or less on "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 t)m^Nh^W^^CM.^aii M )in' natural 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 Bufferers are found in both sexee ; -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'encbunter some person unexpectedly they feel confused, afraid, and alarmed; the heartbeats 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. ... / : ; ..CC ; . -, 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 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 the cheerful, active, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, drowsy, istlest, suspicious, and gloomy misanthrope ? Many causes, or one cause only, may operate to produce this sad state ; the causeway; be either mental or physical, or both combined. Attempts to Cure Nervousness by means of ordinary tonics have so frequently proved 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' scene, as in travelling. If all these fail, as they often do, what is to be done? The Answer will be found by carefully perusing the Following Work: — Ninth Edition, post free Is 4d, NERVOUS DEBILITY, ITS CAUSE AND CURE, With Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration to Health. Applications for a copy of the 1 above work must Ibe accompanied by the amount in New Zealand or other stamps, also a properly, dhected enycfojfo. <-":< :*•>?■: '■:. .' y -> ; .U' rt f '"' ■ ■> TAddresß-™- ■-.-. ■*£-"■■ ' '"-^ : . : ' J '" ■ •;< 'h CHARLES SENNET, Agent, .
