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 systam. Sometimes this unnatural, sta'je 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 confuted,, afraid, and alarmed ; the heart beats violently, the hand .shakes when writing, and the whole frame at times experiences a complete tremulousner.l. • The intellect also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, the judjmeiit becomes indistinct, the.will capricious and undecided, the taste vitiated, the imagination broods upon unpleasant topics, the spirits are vervlow or very excited, the ordinary duties of life become burdensome, society is shunned, and business neglected. .::■..: \ .A Stange Spectacle.— lt is certainly strange, but not the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime of life, with firm step andhealthy countenance, -may occasionally- be met with,.: who, in ; spite of possessing all the advantages of education, religionj ample means, and kind friends,. nevertheless are victims of the nervousness above de^ scribed ; unhappy themselves, theyLrender other, people unhappy. Why is this f What cause has operated to change ithe 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. . A tternpte to-Qv.ro Nervousness- byraeans 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' do, what is to be done? : :.'.:':.; ; ■ The Answer, will be fmnd by carefully perusing the, Following Work ;-— : ' Nin^U; Edition^ post free Is 4d, .

SPERMATORRHOEA, In its Physiological, Medical, and Legal : Aspects, By JAHES 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 ftew 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. Yethave they, by a sorb 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; In the present 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 ability of those from whom the community have a right to expect it, of. the most judicious kind, should be equally great in pro^ viding it. There is every reason, also, . to believe that it would be ofterier sought after if the subject were known to be more fully entertained by the duly qualified members of the/profession."— Dr Copland's Medical Dictionary, voL 11. "The only way by which some of the most important functional ailmenw and aberrant physiological states affecting humanity can be rescued from the grasp of the most dis. gusting and villainous quapkery, and treated r 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 Drßeaney.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 •their purse by impudent charlatans. To such sufferers we commend a perusal of Mr B.eaney'B volume.— Victorian Telegraph.
