Strong healthy persons, whethe medically educated or not, generally regart nervousness as more or less an "imaginar complaint ;" it 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— Neivousness is an un natural condition of the nervous system. Some times this unnatural state is accompaniei with considerable bodily weakness, loss c flesh and loss of strength ; but in most case there is in the earlier stages of the disorde no outward sign of weakness. The sufferer are found in both sexes ; they often have tb bloom of health upon the cheek ; they ar surrounded by kind, friends, yet existence t them has no charms, for they feel that the; cannot enjoy it. Without intending it, the; annoy other people about the merest trifles if they encounter some person unexpectedl; they feel confused, afraid, and alarmed ; th heart beats violently, the hand shakes whe: writing, and the whole frame at times expe riences a complete tremulousness. Th intellect also is sometimes clouded, th memory fails, the judgment becomes indis tinct, the will capricious and undecided, th taste vitiated, the imagination broods upoi unpleasant topics, the spirits are very low o very excited, the ordinary duties of life be come burdensome, society is shunned, am business neglected. A Stange Spectacle. — It is certainl; strange, but not the less true, that perfectl; sane persons in the prime of life, with fire step and healthy countenance, may occasion ally be met with, who, in spite of possesshi all the advantages of education, religion ample means, and kind friends, nevertheles are victims of the nervousness above de scribed ; unhappy themselves, they rende other people unhappy. Why is this? Wha cause has operated to change the cheerfu] active, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncom plaining youth into the unhappy, drowsy listlest, suspicious, and gloomy misanthrope Many causes, or one cause only, may operat to produce this sad state ; the cause may b either mental or phypical, or both combined A ttemvts to Cure Nervousness by means ordinary* tonics have so frequently provei fruitless that the leading physicians now fo the most part recommend hygienic means such as exercise in the open air, reg^ula habits, sea bathing, the cold bath friction change of air and scene, as in travelling.

SPERMATORRHOEA, In its Physiological, Medical, and Lega Aspects, By JAMES GEO. BEANEY, F.R.C.S., Formerly Surgeon to the Melbourne Hospita and Her Majesty's Troops during the War in the Crimea. Agents for Zealand— Messrs WISE Dunedin. Spermatorrhoea, with impotence and ste rility "are subjects of much greater practi cal importance than has been conceived ty many, and often involve the happiness anc perpetuation of families. Yet have they, ty a sort "of professional prudery, been eithe: entirely overlooked by medical writers o very imperfectly discussed, and thereby re linquished to the irregular practitioner, or t< the entirely unqualified empiric. In the pre sent era of high refinement and of luxurious, if not vicious enjoyments, and under the in fluence of noxious plans and systems of edu cation, instances are very numerous foi which medical advice is required for the re moval of the morbidly disqualifying condi tions about to be considered, but is noi resorted to so frequently as it ought to be. Since advice is thus often necessary, the ability of those from whom the communitji have a right to expect it, of the most judicious kind, should be equally great in providing 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 gusting 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, 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 publication of this work point out a way of escape to sufferers from the injuries pn their ponstjtution, and the drain made on their purse by impudent charlatans. To such sufferers we coenmmd a perusal of Mr Jeanejr'B volume,~Victom Tekgrapn,
