If any one desires to live wisely and happily, lei
him take the Journal OF Health and follow It's pre-
cepts
Above all quachery, IN the planest language-it IS
filled with words Of wisdom. Ev'ry mother ought
TO read it Buy pound less of tea, and take II.
From the Western Monthly Review, Cincinnati, (Oho)
We have seen some numbers of this periodical
The writing ia generally chaste, simple intelIgble,
perspicuous. OF all our earthly physical interests
j, touches infinitely the most important. The max
inns OF wisdom and experience treasured on the sub
ject, are impaired in words, which he who runs may
read and understand There is no family IN the
Union, that would not be benefited many times the
price of its publication, by reading, and p'rPendlng
its contents
We are clear, that, as far il goes, VIC have read
no similar work, calculated to subserye the inter
ests and wel-being Of the community rclat ion 20
health, in All equal degrees, and " wish that the
prudence and good sense of the community, may &C
cord TO this work liberal patronage.
From the New York Evening Post.
The Journal Of Health is periodical which we al
ways with pleasure to our reatcrs, on the
appearance Of each successive number. ltsoelect is
good, and It's articles good, containing not only
an abundance Of excellent preccpts, but those so
agreeaby set forth anllustfaed, and so various in
their character, that they connot iaIl to accomplish
what have been Pronounced the two great ends OF au
thorshp, ion and amusement. The editors
know how TO seize bold Of sttenfion and win to
their side They do not nttcmpffo drive them by
long and tedious dIqusitIon on abstract points of
medicine; but deal out, instead short practical hints,
and plain rules Of conduct which all can appre cate.
