To those who have tried their fa'tniiy medical adviser without the desired relief. : : And to. those who suffer from Spermatorrhajh/ • and other fearful results of indiscretion in youth. Dr. L. L. SMITH begs to state he has de-. voted the whole of his. life to the study and treatment of Syphilitic Diseases, and having successfully' practised -during" the .last twanty 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 becoh.es 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 degrada--tion. ;*' ';':. •. . .-. '-,.'. ;_ . ■•:.-.• V"■- .: -; : ;----'- Dr. L. L.

Nervousness : iris nature&cuke; 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 f^und to be dying or dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this— Neivousness ah un-i natural condition of titenerbous system/ Sometimes this unnatural state is T 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 j they often have the blooni of' health upp^tlie. .clleck ; they are surrounded by kind frieuds, jet 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 heartbeats violently, the hand strikes when writing, and the whole frame at times experiences a complete tremulousntss. Tho intellect also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, the judgment becomes indistirictj the will capricious aud 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. ,:„. „.,.: c - , ; ; A'STAfOE Spß(^A"6jiE:- ? r.itJis-^ce'riiHinly strange, but not tlie lesd 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 atl vantages of education, ample means, and kind frieuds, nevertheless are victims of tlie 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, listlest, suspicious, and gloomy misanthrope ? Many causes, or one cause only, may operate to produce this sad state ; tho cause may be either mental -or, physical, or both combined;!; : A itemptstq:GiireNe> x i}oumess 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 aud scene, as: in travelling. . If all these fail, as they often; do,' w.hat is to be 'done? I\l . ■' ■' " "- ■;" "-" ; ' The Answer will be found by carefully perusing the Following Work: — Ninth Edition, post free ,1s 4d, NERVOUS DEBILITY, ITS CAUSE AND : CURE, With Plain Directions for Perfect Restora- . tion. to Health.
