Tl O T H- EN ER V O Ul S . ~ : ."■ '- j; ■' To those whosuffer from Debility, j ! To those whom Married Life is.a burden. To those who desire to enter into the Marriage Contract. ■ To those who have tried their family medical adviser without the. desired relief. And to those who suffer from Spermatorrhoea, and other fearful results of indiscretion in youth. Dr. L. L. SMITH begs to state he has dev*ted 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 and 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 blessing and a joy, and in the other, a misery, self-reproach, and degradation. ' • v Dr. L. L. SMITH may be allowed to point out, that he is the only legally-qualified medical man practising in these cases, and warns the public from applying to other advertising medical men, as a mere glance at the medical register will show them to be impostors, preying upon the lives and pockets , of suffering humanity. : ■ Dr. L.

A PARADOX.— TO SUFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE & CURE. What xs Nervousness? — Various answers might be given to this question, according to the constitution and knowledge of the individual. Strong healthy persons, whethtr 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 tt»natnral 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 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, thoy 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 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 vervlow or very excited, the ordinary duties of life become burdensome, society is shunned, and business neglected. A Stance Spectacle.— lt 13 certainly strange, but not the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime of life, with firm step and healthy countenance, may occasion-, ally 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 the cheerful, acbive, obliging, unsuspecti lg, 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 p'lyrca 1 , 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 :i the open air, regular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath friction ; change ot air and scene, as in travelling. If all these fail, as they often do, what' is to be done ? ' ' The Ansicer tvitt be found by carefully [perusing tlie Following Work : — " Ninth Edition, post free Is 4d, NERVOUS DEBILITY, ITS CAUSE AND ,-. i . - •■;• /■ CURE, .
