A PARAD 0 X.— TO S t7FFERERS. NERVOUSNESS : iTs"NATURE ; &CURE. What is Nervousness T-^-Various answers 1 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 - r N'e7voußnesß is an unnatural condition of the nervous system. 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 to. them has no chanris, for thoy feel that they cafiriot "enjoyiK Without interidirig it, they .annoy pther people about the merest trifles ; if they "encounter some person unexpectedly they feel confused, afraid, -arid alarmed ; theheart beats violently, the hand shakes when writing, and the whole frame at times experiences a. complete ...tremulousness.^, The. intellect also isl.sometirnes':clouded| the memory fails, the ; judgment' Becomes! indis-" tinct, the will capricious arid 'undecided, "the 1 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 ia shunned, and business neglected. , A Stange Spectacle.— lt is certainly strange, Jrat np.t. the. less true* that perfectly sane persons inj the primejof life, with firm step and healthy countenance, may occasionally be'met'withV'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, 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. Attempts to Cure N&rvousncss by means of ordinary tonics have .so 'frequently proved fruitless that the leading physicians now fof the most part recommend hygienic means, >uch 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? The Answer, will be found by carefully perusing the FoUowing Work:— Ninth Edition,^ post free Is 4d. NERVOUS DEBILITY, ITS CAUSE AND CURE, With Plab Directions for Perfect Restoratic n to Health. Applications for a copy of the above work must beaccompjnied'by the amount'in New Zealand or^ other stamps, -also a properlydiiec'ted envelope.
