NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE & CURE. "What is 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 tt 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— Netvousness is an unj natural condition of the nervous system. Sometimes 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 af no outward sign of weakness. The sufferers [ c are found in both sexes ; they often have the Te 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 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 indis--7j i tinct, the will capricious and undecided, the taste vitiated, the imagination broods upon 16 unpleasant topics, the spirits are very low or very excited, the ordinary duties of life become burdensome, society is shunned, and id business neglected. A Stange Spectacle.— lt is certainly strange, but not the less true, that perfectly rs sane persons in the prime of life, with firm step and Healthy countenance, may occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessing 1 all the advantages of education, religion, jj 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, unsuspecting, and uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, drowsy, ie listlest, suspicious, and gloomy misanthrope ? Many causes, or one cause only, may operate y to produce this sad state ; the cause may be td either mental or physical, or both combined. A ttempts to Cure Nervousness by means o t ordinary tonics have so frequently proved fruitless that the leading physicians now for 1> the most part recommend hygienic means, y such as exercise in the open air, Tegular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath friction ; change of air and spene, as in travelling. If all these fail, as they often do, what is to be •n done ? 16 The Answer will be found by carefully ts perusing the Following Work:— Ninth Edition, post free Is 4d, NERVOUS DEBILITY, ITS CAUSE AND - CURE, ■ With Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration to Health.

SPERMATORRHOEA, ~ In its Physiological, Medical, and Legal '• Aspects, By JAMES GEO. BEANEY, F.R.C.S., Formerly Surgeon to the Melbourne Hospital and Her Majesty's Troops during \ the War in the Crimea. Agents for _\ew Zealand— Messrs WISE, Dunedin. Spermatorrhoea, with impotence and sterility "are subjects of much greater practi- '* cal importance than has been conceived by ~ many, and often involve the happiness and , perpetuation of families. Yet have they, by a sort of professional prudery, been either entirely overlooked by medical writers or n very imperfectly discussed, and thereby re- , linquished to the irregular practitioner, or to the entirely unqualified empiric. In the pre- - sent era of high refinement and of luxurious, if not viciouß enjoyments, and 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 be considered, but is not resorted to so frequently as it ought to be. SinGa adyice \% tjjus often necessary, the 1 ability of those fr'ow whoni the community 3 [ have a right to expect it, of the most iudi- ) cious kind, should be equally great in" proj viding it. There is every reason, also, to , believe that it would be oftener sought after I if the subject were known to be more fully i entertained by the duly qualified members of ; the profession."— Dr Copland's Medical Die tionary, voL 11. E " Thjj only way by which some of the most important functional ailments and aberrant 1 physiological stages affepting humanity can s be rescued from the g):asp of the most dis i gusting and villainous quackery, and treated with benefit to the patient, is bythe'scien- ! tific and conscientious practitioner openly taking them under his own charge. — Lancet 30th May, 1857. We are glad that Dr Beaaey, a Melbourne ; surgeon of established reputation, has had the courage to grapple with this subject, and by the publication of this work point out a way of escape to sufferers from the injuries on their constitution, and the drain made on i , their puroe by impudent charlatans. To such ' sufferers we coenmmd a perusal of Mr Beaney's volume.— 'Victoria, %Ugrapk.
