HP OJ&_T HE N ER V OJBU S. To those who suffer from Debility. To those whom Married Life is a burden. 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 ether fearful results of indiscretion in youth. Dr. L. L. SMITH, 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 years in the 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. L. L. SMITH may be allowed to point put, 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.

A PARADOX.— TO SPFFERKRS. NERVOUSNESS : rr^ATURE&CUJJE,; 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 ;" 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— Neivousness: is an m»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 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 beaj*. 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. , A Stanoe 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 occasionilly be met with, who, in spite of possessing %\i the. advantages of education, religion, ample means, and kind friends, nevertheless ire victims of the nervousness above described; unhappy themselves, they render sther people unhappy. Why is this ? What :ause has operated to change the cheerful, ictive, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, drowsy,, istlest, suspicious, and gloomy misanthrope?. Many causes, or one cause only, may operate 10 produce this sad state ; the cause may be >itber mental or physical, or both combined.. A ttempts to- Cure Nefvousn&ss by means of »rdinary tonics have so frequently proved ruitless that the leading physicians now for ihe most part recommend hygienic means, .uch. as exercise in the open air,- regular labits, sea bathing, the cold bath friction ; ihange of air and scene,' as in travelling. If til these fail, as they often do, what is to be lone?" '.'■;■ -.' ••. :'■ ', :; ' „.'■;' !
