m O THE NERVOUS To those who suffer from Debility. To those'whom Married Life ira burden. To those who desire to^ enter into the Mar ; riage Contract. To those who have tried their family medical adviser without the desired relief, I , * , And to those who suffer from Spermatorrhdsa, and other fearful results of indiscretion n youth. , : 1 .Dr. L. it. SMITH begs : to state he has devoted the whole of his life to the study and • trpatirient of Stphilitto Diseases, ; and haying successfully .practised .during the : las^ ; twenty years in the colony, he suggests to all ,'. new arrivals the expediency of throwuig,pff;. , any false delicacy or modesty, and to at once apply and obtain that reh'ef which their case —- requires, before the disease becomes utterly incurable, and the unfortunate victim totally impotent. In aneinstance, married life can be made a .blessing and a joy, and in the other, a misery, self-reproach, and degradation. . r ;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, medicdl men, as a mere glance at ' the medical register will show them to be impostors, preying upon the lives and pockets of suffering humanity. \;. .

S UF|ERE»ar NERVOUSNESS : HSNATURE &CUKE, What ts Nervousness?— Various answers 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, ia this— JTe»ww«i«BSv w an. «'»• ','■ natural'trniditionoftlie nervous system; Some- ; times this unnatural state-, is' accompanied with considerable, bodily weakness, loss of flesh arid 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 ta 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 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 aind< undecided; the taste vitiated, the imagination broods upon unpleasant topics, the spirits are very low or - very excited, the ordinary duties of life become- burdensome, society is shunned, and - business neglected. .' ; '■ r ;. A Stange Spect^clb.— lt : is 'certainly strange, but not the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime' of -life,^with 1 firm ' step and healthy countenance, may 'occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessing all the advantages of education, religion, ' ample loeans, and k}nd friends, nevertheleaa viptims of the nervousness abore de? scribed; unhappy themselves, they 'render other people unhappy. , Why,is;this ?; What cause has operated to change th c cheerful, active, obliging, unsuspecting, arid' 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 maybe either mental or physical, or both combined, 1 Attempts to Cure tfervoustuiss 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 in travelling. If ' all these fail, as they oftendo, what is to bQ done? •'•-■■■•= ■•■ ..■;■.■- ■"• ; .-- ; ' : -• ■'■-■■ .■ The Answer will be found by carefully ' perusing the Following Work :— Ninth Editipr, post free Is 4tL.
