A PARADOX. TO SUFFERERS. NERVOUSNESS: ITS NATURE AND CURE. WHAT IS NEtt\OUSN£SS?

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, gen- rally regard nervousness ns more or less an " imaginary complaint ;" it is BomRtinies only believed 10 be real when the patient is found to ho dying 01 dead. Tho best csswer to the question, probnbly, is this— >ervousne»s is an unn/itural coaditioti of the nervous system. Some limes this unnatural state is accompanied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesh and lo«s 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 tho 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 sume 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 somotimes clouded, the memory fails, the judgment becomes indistinct, tho will oapricioas and undecided, the ta<<te vitiated, the imagination broods upon unp'eassnt topics, the spirits are either very low or very excited, (he ordinary duties of life become burdensome, society is shunned, and business

neglected A Stbano* Spxotaolk.— It is certainly strange, but not the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime of life, with firm step and healthy countenances may occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessing all the advantages of education, religion, ample means, and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of the nervoasness above described; unhappy themselves, they render other people unhappy. Why is this 7 What cause Las operated to change the cheerful, active, obliging, unsuspec'ng, and uncomplaininj youth Into tte unhappy, drowsy, listless, suspicions, and gloomy misanthrope t Many causes, or one cause only, may operate to produce this tad state ; tho cause may be either mental or physical, or both

combined. Attempts to cure Nemmmeuby means of ordinary tonics have so frequently proved fraiUlest, that the leading phyiiaians now for the most part rsoommend hygienic means, such as exercise in the open air, regular habits, sea bathing, ihe cold bath, friction change of air and scene, as in travelling. If all these fail, as they often do, what is to bo done 1 • The answer will be found by carefully penuiDg following work. Ninth Edition, Post Free, Is. ii.
