A PARADOX— TO SUFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE & CURE. Y/ffAT is NERyousNEss?— Various answers might be given to this question, according to the constitution arid knowledge of the in. dividual. Strong healthy persons, "whether medically educated or riot, 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 —Nervousness is an «»• natural condition of the nervous system. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompanied with considerable, bodily weakness, loss of fiesh'and loss of strength; but in most cases there is in'the i earlier stages 1 of the disorder no outward sign of weakness. : The safferers 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 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 feelconfused, afraid,- and alarmed ; the heart beats violently, thehand shakes when writing, and the whole frame at times experiences a complete tremulonsness. ■ The intellect also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails* the judgment becomes indis^ tinct, the will capricious antl undecided, the taste ; vitiated, '.the,, imagination broods upon ; unpleasant topics, the spirits are very low or very excited, Tthe r ordinary -"dilties of life become burdensome; society "is shunued, and business neglected. ... A Stange Spectacle.— lt is certainly strange, but not the less true, that perfectly sane persons' in the prime of lifej with firm step andhealthy'countenance, may occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessing aU the advantages of education, religion, ample means, and kind friends, neverthele s are victims of the nervousness above "described; unhappy themselves, they render other people unhappy. Why is this ?r What cause has operated to change the cheerful, active, obliging, unsusi.icjng, 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 causemay be either mental or physical; or both combined. Attempts 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 in the open air, regular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath ; friction ; change of air and scene, as ia travelling. If all these fail, as they often do, what is to be done ? - , The Ansioer will be found by carefully' perusing the Following Work:— NERVOUSIS^ AND 1 CURE, With Plain Directions for Perfect Restora- % tion to Health. .
