L. SMITH begs to state he has de-^ )ted the whole of his life to the study and eatment of Syphilitic Diseases, and havig successfully practised during the last venty years in the colony, he suggests to all sw arrivals the expediency of throwing off ay false delicacy or modesty, and to at once pply and obtain that relief which their case jquire3, before the disease becomes utterly lcurable, and the unfortunate victim totally npotent. In one instance, married life can c made a blessing and a joy, and in the ther, a misery, self-reproach, and degradaion. Dr. L. L. SMITH may be allowed to point ut, that he is the only legally-qualified Qedical man practising in these case 3, and yarns the public from applying to other ad'ertißing medical men, as a mere glance at he medical register will show them to be mpostors, preying upon the lives and pockets )f suffering humanity.

A PARADOX.— TO SUFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE ft CURE. What ts Nervousness?— Various answers might be given to this question, accordicg 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, ii this vJVft vousness is an unnatural 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 pf weakness. The sufferers are found in both sexes ; they often have the bloom of health upon the cheek ; they are surrounded by kind frieuds, 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 ponfuscd, afrajdj and alarmed ; the heart beats violently, the hand- shakes when writing, and the whole frame at times experiences a complete treniulousnegs. 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 law? or very excited, the ordinary duties of life become burdensome, society is shunned, and business neglected. A Staxgb Spectacle.— It is oertainly 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 ■ire victims of the nervousness above described ; unhappy themselves, they render ather people unhappy. Why is this } What :ause has operated tfo change tb« cheerful, ictivo, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, drowsy, , istlest, suspicious, and gloomy misanthrope ? Many causes, or one cause only, may operate ;o produce this sad \ t state ; the cause may-be nther mental brlphypjicaL , or both combinjd. A Uempts to Cure Mtrbdusness' by in'eans'of >rdinary tonics have so frequently proved ruitless that the leading physicians noto for he most part recommend hygienic means, uch as exercise in the open air, regular labits, sea bathing, the cold bath" friction ; :haiige of air and scene, as in travelling. If ,11 these fail, as they often do, what is to be lone ? The Answer tcill be found by carefully >erusing the Following Work: — Ninth Edition, post free Is 4d, fERVOUS DEBILITY, ITS CAUSE AND CURE, Vith Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration to Health. Applications for a copy of the above work mst be accompanied by the amount in New iealand or other stamps, also a properlyi. ectpd envelope. Address--CHARLES SENNET, Agent, Brooklyn Houso, Flag ?
