Medical. A PARADOX. TO .SUFFERERS* Nervousness: Its Nature and Cure. What is Nervousness? T7~ARIOUS Answers might be given to V 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. vVithout 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 tremui lousness. The intellect also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, the judgment become indistinct, the will capricious and , undecided, the taste vitiated, the imagination broods upon unpleasant topics, the i spirits are either very low or very excited, i the ordinary duties of life become burdeni some, society is shunned, and business l neglected. : A STRANGE SPECTACLE—It is certainly j strange, but not the less true, that perfectly i sane persons in the prime of life, with firm step and healthy countenance, may occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessing all the advantages of education, religion, ample means, and kind friends, neveri theless are victims of the nervousness above ■ described; unhappy themselves, they • render other people unhappy. Why is this 1 i What cause has. operated to change the [ cheerful, active, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, drowsy, listless, suspicious, and gloomy mis--1 anthrope 1 Many causes, or one cause only, t may operate to produce this sad state ? the - cause may be either mental or physical, or I both combined. ATTEMPTS TO CURE NERVOUSNESS by means of ordinary tonics have so frel quently proved fruitless, that the leading ) physicians now for the most part recommend 1 hygenic means, such as exercise in the open air, regular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath friction ; change of air and scene, as in 9 travelling. If all these fail, as they often do, I what is to be done ? i THE ANSWER will be found by carefully perusing the FOLLOWING WORK.
