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^ ' . . n youth. Dr. L. L. SMlTflbegs to state he has devoted 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 theunfortunate victim totally impotent. In ,one instance, married life L ean be made, a blessing- and a joy, and in the other, a misery, self-reproach, and degradation. ,'■' ; ' -;/' ; ; ■ ' "' ' ,' ' '■*'','■ . Dr.^L, L.

The best answer to the question probably, is t)us— tfeivovisness is' an un natural (mtditiwoffftenetyqussysiein. SomeS times this unnatural state is adcompaiiied with considerable ; bodily weakness, loss oi flesh and loss of strength ; but in most cases there is in the earlier stages of the disordei no outward sign of weakness. The s.uffereri are foundin both sexes ; they often have the bloom of .health upon the cheek : they art surrounded by kind 'friends, yet existence tc them has h;b charms, for they feel that the\ camiot enjoy it. Without intending it; ,the\ annoy other peopleabput the merest trifles if theyenebuhter some pertpn unexjpectedlj they feel confused, afrMdj : and heart beats viblentljr, the hand shakes whei writing^ and the whole; friune at jtimesexpe riences a complete trefiiulbusness.' Th( intellect, also is sometimes clouded, th« memory fails, the judgment becomes indis tinct, the will capricious and -undecided, "th( taste vitiatedj the imagination broods upbr unpleasant topics, the spirits are very low oi very excited, the ordinary duties of life become burdensome, society is shunned, and business neglected. ' •*.'. A Stange; Spi;cTACLE'.- T lt is certiinlj strange, but riot the less^rue, that perfectlj sane persons in the prime of life, with firm step and healthy countenance, may occasionally bo. met w^tb, 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, unsuspeqting, and uncomEjlaimng youth into the unhappy, drowsy, listlest, suspicious, and gloomy misanthrope ? Manycauses, or one cause only, may operate to produce this, sad state j the cause may be either mental or physical,, or both combined. Attempts to Cure Nervousness by means of J r ™nary ; topics have so . frequently proved fruitless that, the leading physicians now for the most part recommend hygienic means,, such as exercise, in ;the open air, Regular habits, sea bathing,' the cold bath friction • - change of air and scene, as in travelling.
