Bourke street East, Melbourne. A .FARAD 0 X.— T^ S CFFERER^ Yv'hat is Nervousness?— Various answers might be given to this question, according to the constitution and knowledge of the individual. Strong healthy persons, whether "medically, "edffcated or not, generally regard riervbusifesr'as'Wre 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— Neiv/iusness. is .«»,.«».. natural condition of th[eiie%vo\Uißyfycyi. S^e-; times this unnatural .statj^iV^^ccojnpanied. 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 Ait health Upon the- cheek j they are •surrounded-by kind friends, yet existence to them has no charms, for thoy feel that they cannot enjoy it. Without intending it, they annoy other people about the merest trifles ; if they encounter some person unexpectedly ; theyJeeUconfused, 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 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 be. come burdensome, society is shunned, and business neglected. j. Atj-Stange Spectacle.— Jt,* is- .certainly : strangej-but not the-leas trne, 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, FolJKion, ample means, and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of the neryousness, 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, snspjcJQus, and gloomy misanthrope ? Many causes, or oue cause only, may pperate to produce this sad state ; tbp cause may be eitbermental or physical, or both combined. 7 'x{ii^^^^.^}%}ivV%^)ti^.by..^^ri|^dr ordinary tonics nave so""freque*ntly'" "proved" fruitless that the leading physicians now for the most part recommend hygienic means, such a? exercise in the open air, regular habits, sen, bathing) th.c cold bath friction ; change of air and s^ene, as in? travelling.
