They have long since been used in one of the largest County Hospitals in Great Britain, and received the commendation of several eminent physicians and surgeons ; and have proved their value in thousands ofl nstances in diseases of the Head, Chest, Bowels, Liver, and Kidneys ; and in all Skin Complaints are one of the best medicines known.

NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE &cURE What is Nervousness?— Varions 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— Nervousness is an unnatural 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 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 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 snakes 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 occasion-: ally be met with, who, in spite 1 of possessing all the advantages of education, religion, 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 haß operated to change the cheerful, active, obliging, 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 be either mental or physical, or both combined. Attempts to Cure Nervousness, ..by means of ordinary tonics have so frequently 'proved fruitless that the leading physicians 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 tip, wiat.is to be done? .;/ .„■ 'J r .

SPERMATO R R H CE A , In its Physiological, Medical, and Legal : ■■ 5 Aspects; j - h By JAMES GEO. BEANEY^F.R.CiS;, Formerly Surgeon to the Melbourne Hospital and Her Majesty's Troops during „ ; ■ the War in the Crimea. Agents for New Zealand— Messrs WISE, Dunedin. Spermatorrhoea, with impotence and sterility "are subjects of much greater practical importance than hasl heen conceived by many, and Often invofvethelhappiness and perpetuation of families. Yet have they, by assort of professional prudery, been either entirely overlooked by medical writers or very imperfectly discussed, and thereby relinquished to the irregular practitioner, or to the entirely unqualified empiric, i'lix .th'ej>resent era of high refinement and of luxurious, if not vicious enjoyments, and under the in- ; fluence of noxious plans and systems of education, instances are very numerous for which medical advice.is required for the, removal of the' 1 morbidly: disqualifying' conditions about to be considered, but is not resorted to so iirequently as it ought to be. Since advice is thus ..often necessary, the ability of those' from whom the community 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. Dietusnary, vol. 11. ' - : ;w ; ,'. L .?. I. •.' 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 disgustingt'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.
