ITS NATURE & CURE. ) Y/hat is NERypr;sKESS?r- 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, is this — Net vousness 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 foundin both ; sexes ; th.ey often have the bloom of health upon the cheek ; they are surrounded by kind' friends, yet evistfence to them has no charms, for thoy feel that tliey cannot enjoy it. Without intending it, they annoy other people about the merest trifles ; if they encounter some person unexpectedly they fqel confused, afraid, arid 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 very low or very excited, . the. ordinary duties of life become burdensome, society is shunned, and business neglected. - , A Stange Spectacle. —It is certainly strange, but not the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime of life, with firm step and healthy countenance, may occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessing; all the advantages of educntiqn, religion, anifle 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 uncoinplaining youth into the unnappy, drowsy, listlest, suspicious, and gloomy misanthrope ? Many causes, r or one cause only, may operate to produce this sad state; the cause may be either mental drpbypioal, or'bjrjth combined. A ttempts to Cure Nervousness by means o ordinary tonics have so frequently proved fruitless that the leading physicians-now for the most part recommend, hygienic means, such as exercise iri th6' open air, regular habits, sea ' bathing,' the cbld bath friction ; change of air and scene, as in travelling. If. all these fail, as they often do, what is to be done? The Af}siper will be found by carefully perusing the Following }Vovk ■ — .

Diinedin:' .'"'■ Spermatorrhoea, with impotence and sterility "are subjects of much greater practical importance than, has been conceived by many, and often involve the happiness and perpetuation of families.. Yet have they, by a sore of professional prudery, been either entirely , overlooked by medical writers or. very imperfectly discussed/ and" thereby relinquished to the irregular practitioner, or to tho entirely unqualified empiric. In the. present ora of high refinement and of luxurious, if not vicious enjoyments, and under the iriiluonoo of noxious plans and systems of education, instances are very numerous for which modioaradyice is required for the re : nioval of the morbidly disqualifying conditions about to bo considered, but is ■ not resorted to so frequently as it ought to be. Sinco advice, is thus often necessary, the ability of those from whom the commuuity , luvvo a righb to expect it, of- the most judioious kind, should oo equally great in providing it. There is bvery reason, also, to bolicve that it would be oftener sought after if the subject were known to be. more. fully ontortained by the\ duly qualified members of the profession."— Dr Copland's Medical Lie tiondru, vol. 11. ■ " The only way by which some of the most important functional ailments and aberrant physiological states' affecting humanity can be rescued from tue grasp of - the most dis, justing and villainous quackery, and treated with benefit to the patient, is by the scientific and conscientious practitioner openly baking them under his own charge.— Lancet 30tu May, 1857. We are glad that Dr Beaney, a Melbourne surgeon of established reputation, has had the courage to grapple with this subject, and >y the. publication of this' work point out a way of- escape" to sufferers from the injuries ■ on their constitution, and the drain made on their purse by impudent charlatans. To such , sufferers we cqenmmd a perusal ' of Mr Beaney's volume. —Victoria Telegraph*
