The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit. herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil eelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein container the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest allhount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we sliceild live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore years andten."
These interesting little volumes, although hearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, hill be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea-
ture able to understani ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that qualfly promulgated through
questionable channels, is et a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of -huraan disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader ehall become his or her own physicten
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations.
The anther's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

NOTICES OF TIIE PRESS.

From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will be
appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance
of distinguishing between ' irritative' and ' inflammatory' action in
determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of
opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for
the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr.
Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro-
ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us
conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having carefully
perused Mr. Franks's book, we can state with confidence, that it
ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the Information it con-
tains May not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of
symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed,
hut may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices
of the unskilful and the empiric."
Fro'n Bell's Life in London.—" We recommend this little treatise
to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them
off as speedily and safely as possible, without having recourse to the
ruinous banks founded by manslaughtering quacks."
From the London Mercantile Journal.—" Mr. Franks is evidently
an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in
treating the subject upon which he has written. There is a vast
amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un-
happiness in the married state, and such a work as this may be the
means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and jea-
lousies which sever the peace of families."
