GISBORNE. \ PARADOX.— TO SUFFERERS NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE & CURE What is Nervousness?— Various answers might be given to this question,, accordirj. to the. constitution and knowledge of the in dividual. Strong healthy persons, whether . medically educated or not, generally regard nervousness as more or le<B an "imaginary complaint;" ie is sometimes only believed t< be real when the patient is found to be dyin or dead. The best answer to the question probably, is this — Nervousness is an un natural condition of the nervous system. Some times this unnatural state is acco*npaniei with considerable bodily weakness, loss of \ -flesh and loss of strength ; but in most case? j there is in the earlier stages of the disorder no outward sign of weakness. The sufferenare found in both sexes ; they often havethf bloom of health upon, the cheek ; they ar> surrounded by k: .id f rieuds, yet existence tc. them has no charms, for thoy feel that the? cannot enjoy it. Without intending it, the; annoy other people about the merest trifles if they encounter some person unexpectedly they feel confns"d. afraid and alarmed ; th heart beats vblently, the hand stakes whei writing, and the. whole frame at times experiences a . complete tremulousness. Th intellect also is sometimes clouded, tbi 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 overy excited, the ordinary duties of .life be come burdensome, society is saunned, and business neulected. . 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 education, relit-ion, amr'e 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, oblitnng, 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 he' either mental or ptiypical, or both combined. Attempts to Cure Nervousness by uieans o ordinary tonics have so frequently proved fruitless that the leading ph.yflicians.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 often do, what is to be done? The Answer will be found by carefully perusing the Following Work: — Ninth Edition, post free Is 4d, NERVOUS DEBILITY.

BPEKMATO R R H 03 A , In its Physiological, Medical, and Legal Aspects, By JAMES GEO BBANEY, F.8.C.5., . Formerly Surgeon to the Melbourne Hospital and Her Majesty's Troops during the War in the Crimea. , Agents for Zealand— Messrs WISE, Dunedin. 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 tricher entirely overlooked by medical writers or very imperfectly discussed, and thereby re? linquished to the irrje«ular practitioner, or to the entirely unqualified empiric. In the pre-' sent era of hi^h refinement and of luxurious*, ii uot vicious enjoyments, aud under the influence of noxious plans and systems of education, instances are very numerous for which medical advice is required for the removal of the morbidly disqualifying conditions about to *:e considered, out is not resorted to so frequently as it ouuht to be. Since advice is thus often necessary, the ability of those from whom the community have a riuht to expect it, of the most judicious kin>l, should be equally great in pro- | viding it. There is evury reason, also, to believe that it would be oftener sought after if the subject were known to be more fully entertained t>y the duly qualified members of the profession." — Dr Copland's Medical Die tiotiary, vol. 11. " The only way by which sonaeof the most important functional ailments and aberrant .physiological states affecting humanity can be rescued from tbe grasp of the most dis gusting atid villainous quackery, and treated with benefit to the patient, i~ by tbe'sci^nt'iic and conscientious piactitibner openly taking them under his own charge. — Lancet 30th May, 1857. We are glad that Dr Beaney, a Melbourne surgeon of established reputation, has had the courage to grapple with this subject, and by the put lication of this work point out a way of escape to sufferers rom the injuries on their constitution, and the drain 'made on their purse by impudent charlatans. To such sufferers we coenmind a perusal of Mr Beaney's volume. — Victoria Telegraphy
