NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE &CUIIE. • '.'What'is Nervousness! — Various answers might ,be given to this, question, according to the constitution' and ? krioMedge of'the iti-, diyiduaL. Strong, healthy persons, whether medically educated or not, generally regard "uervousness'as more or less "an •'lmaginary complaint ;",dt is. sdinej^mes-oiily believed to be real when the patient is found to be dying or dead. The best answer to the questjon, probably, is this -rNeivousness is an f unnatural condition of the nervous s^«tej«. ;i Some- , times 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 h> them has no charms, for thoyfeel that they cannot enjoy it.' Without intending it, they. -annoy-otherpeople«boufHihe-meres(Hirifles; .if.ijhey encounter some person unexpectedly they feel confused, afraid, and alarmed ; the heartbeats violently, the hand shakes when writing^ and We/whole'filime /at^me^^2(p£riences 'a complete *^ trainulDusflessk-' Tne intellect also is sometimes . clouded, the memory fails, the judgment becomes indistinct, the will capricious and undecided, the taste vitiated, the imagination broods upon ttnpleasajit totiios, tlgß spirits ate vejw tow or business neglected. *.*.«A--Stange Spectacle.— lt is certainly strange, but not the^ less true, that perfectly sane- persons in the prime of life, with firm spp aga healthy countenance, may occasionally be riiet with, who, in spite of possessing all , the advantages, of education, reliwon, airiple means,' and kind friends, nevertheless are 'victims of the nervousness : above de;scribed j unhappy themselves, they render other people unhappy.' T ' Why is this V What j cause has operated to change the cheerful, active,, .obliging, -jiinsuspecting, and uncomplaining, youth into *the- unh'appy^' drowsy, fistlest, suspicious, and gloomy misanthrope ? Many causes, or one cause only, may operate to produce this' sad state ; the caise may be either mental or physical, or both combined. «;v4i^wpss tojCwre ilTe^wpufijies^by means of o^dfe|ry ponies |h>v^ ts^S^tydk 0 ve(^ fruitless that theieading physicians now for the most part, recommend hygienic means, such as 1 exercise in u the : op3U air, regular, habits, sea bathing, the cold bath friction ; charige'of ait.Wdjßt|qe,iasH6 travdllrig.
