NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE & CURE. I What ts Nervousness? — Various answers I might be given .to this question, accordirg to the constitution and knowledge of the individual.. Strong bealthy.persons, whether medically educated or not, generally regard nervousness as more or leis an "imaginary complain^;" 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 unnatural condition of the nervous system. Sometimes this unnatural sdate is accompanied I with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesh and loss of strength ; but in most casea 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 to I them has no charms, for they feel that they cannot enjoy it. Without intending it, they ' annoy other people about the merest trifles ; i if they encounter some person unexpectedly they feel confuspd, 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 and undecided, the [ taste vitiated, the imagination broods upon unpleasant topics, the spirits are very low oi very excited, the ordinary duties of life be--3 come burdensome, society is shunned, and business neglected. A Stange Spectacle. —lt is certainly 3 strange, but not the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime of life, with firm step and healthy countenance, may occasionally he met with, who, in spite of possessing ■ all the advantages of education, religion, amr'e means, and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of the nervousness above described ; unhappy themselves, they rendei other people uphappy. . Why is this ? What i cause has operated to change the cheerful, . antive. -obliirinp^ unsiispßu ting, onAunoom 3 plaining 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 be either mental or physical, or both combined. A ttempts to Cure Nervousness by means c ordinary tonics have so frequently proved , fruitless that the leading physicians now foi the most part recommend hygienic means, such as exercise in the open air, regulai habits, sea bathing, the cold bath frictapn : chanue of air and scene, as in travelling. Ii all these fail, as they of ten do, what is to be done? - . . The Answer will be found by aarefulli fc ferusing tli& Following Work :— a . Ninth Edition, post free Is 4d, c NERVOUS DEBILITY.

In its Physiological, Medical, and Legal Aspects, 3 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 ISew Zealand— Messrs . WISE, Dunedin. Spermatorrhoea, with impotence and sterility "are subjects of much greater practical importance than has been conceived- b'j many, and often involve the happiness and perpetuation of families. Yet have they, by a sore of professional prudery, been either entirely, overlooke.d. by medical writers pt very imperfectly discussed, and thereby r relinquished to the irregular practitioner, or tc the entirely unqualified empiric. In the pre- : sent era of high refinement and of luxurious, if not vicious 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. Since "advice is thus often necessary, the I ability of those from whom the community : have a right to expect it, of the most judi- > cious kind, should be equally great in proi viding it. There is every reason, also, to believe that it would be oftener sought after if the subject were known to be more fully entertained by the duly qualified members of the profession." — Dr Copland's Medical Die tionary, vol. 11. " The only way by which some of the most important functional ailments and aberrant physiological states affecting humanity can be rescued from the grasp of the most dis trusting and villainous quackery, and treated with benefit to the patient, is by. the scientific and conscientious practitioner openly taking them under his own charge. — Lancet 30th May, 1807 i We are glad that Dr Beaney, a Melbourne sargeon of established reputation, has had the courage to grapple -with'this subject, and hy 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 coenmmd a perusal qf Mr Beaney's volume,— Victoria Telegraph
