NERVOUSNESS : ITS NATURE& CUItE 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 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— Neivousness is an iin-,. natural condition of tlie 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; shakes when writing, and the whole frame at times experiences a complete tremulousness. The intellect also,; is (sometimes clouded, v 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 j 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, witE firm' step and healthy countenance, may occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessing all the advantages of education,' relitjiori, 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 unnappy, drowsy, listleat, suspicious, and gloomy misanthrope? Many causes, or one cause only, may operate to produce this sad state ; the cause may be either mental or phypical, or both combined. Attempts to Cure Nervousness by means of. ordinary tonics- have so frequently proved fruitless that the leading physicians how 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 found by carefully perusing the Following Work:— ..-.. r ,.

' ' A gents for 2s ew Zealand- -Messrs • WISE, Dunedin. , , Spermatorrhoea, with impotence and st rility "are subjects of much greater practical importance than has been conceived by many, and often involve the happiness and perpetuation of families. Yet have they, by a sore of professional prudery, been either, entirely overlooked by medical writers or very imperfectly discussed, and thereby relinquished to the irregular practitioner, pr 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 systemsof edu-; cation, 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 oommunity have & right to expect it, of the most judi-, ; cious kind) should.be equally great in providing' it. There is every reason, also, to believe that it would be of tener 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.-: : . ... ...... r : > 1 ' ' l 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 moist disgusting and villainous quackery, and treated with benefit tothe patient, ia by the scientific and conscientious practitioner openly taking them under his own charge. — Lancete 30th May, ; 1857. ;■ .',,-■; ./ /,. ; :. ■i ; 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 his 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.'
