' This Company is being; established as a purely colonial institution, the object being to distribute its .haves as widely as possible oyer the entire colony by a fair proportion being allotted to each province. Tho business of Insurance in New Zealand has become so extended that foreign companies are constantly appearing on the field, ana , withdraw large sums of money from the colony, clearly showing that, with the in- j creasing prosperity of the country, there is ample room for a sister institution to the ; New Zealand Insurance Company, which during an existence of thirteen years, has met with unprecedented success, saving many thousands of capital to the colony, and j therewith fostering local enterprises. j Tho operations of the Company will be j conducted with extreme caution, and upon , sound principles ; its success being insured by the business largely emanating from its own Shareholders. A deposit of ss. per Share to be paid on application, and a farther sum of 5s per Share on allotment; no further call being anticipated. Applications made to the Secretary up to 13th July, 1872, will be numbered as re ceived, and Shares allotted on approval by tho Directors immediately after the receipt of Southern applications. J. F.

THE PHAR MA C V QUEEN' STREET A PARADOX. TO SUFFERERS. Nervousness: Its Nature and Cure. 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 aevonsness as more or less an " imaginary complaint;" it is sometimes only believed to be real when the patient Is either dying or dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this—XEltvous •NESS IS AX UXNATUIIAL-CONniTION OF THE NERVOUS j system. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompa nied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesh I and loss of strength'; but in most cases there is in the ! earlier stages of the disorder no outward sign of'vreak j ness. The sufferers are found in both sexes; they I often have the bloom of health upon their cheek; j they are surrounded by kind friends, yet existence, to j 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, aud 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, the memory fails, the judgment becomes indistinct, the wiU capricious and undecided, the fates vitiated, the' imagination broods upon unpleasant topics, r the spirits are either very low or very excited, the ordinary duties of life become burdensome, society is shunned and business ne glected. A Strang*: Spa-tadc- —lt is certainly strange, but not the less true, that perfectly 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, nevertheless arc 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 unhappy, drowsy, listless, suspicious, I and gloomy misanthrope V Many cases, or one cause only, may. operate to produce this sad state : the .cause maybe either mental or physical, or both combined. Attempts to cure ncrroiu-'netu by means of ordinary tonics have so frequently proved fruitless that the leading physicians now for the most part recommend hygenic 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 Ansti'er will be found by carefully perusing the foUowing Work :— Ninth Edition, Post Free, Is. 4d. Nervous Debility : Its Cause and Cure. With Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration to Health.
