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 arid 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 blessiug and a joy, and in the other, a misery, self-reproach, and degradation. •■■■■• :-N : - ' ' '■ .. ' _■;'.■; ■'■■

Dr. L. L.

A PARADOX.— TO SUFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE & CURE. •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 unnatural condition of the nervoits system. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompanied with considerable bodily weakness," loss of flesh and loss of strength ; but ia 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 caniiot enjoy it. Withoutintending it, they. ' annoy other people about the merest trifles ; if they encounter some person unexpectedly , they feel confused, afraid, and alarmed ; the , heart beats 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 indis- , tinct, the will capricious and undecided, the i 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_ Spectacle.-— lt. is certainly strange, but not the less true, that perfectly sane persons iii the prime of life," with firm step arid 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, listlest, 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. A ttempts 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 ? '■'.''.' 1 i :';■'■.
