JOURNAL OF HEALTH.

NV II approve OF the plan on which the publication,
w entitled the "JOURNAL OF HEALTH" Is
conducted, and believe that 1t is calculated to be
Jul, by enlghtcning public opinion on sub jcc, OF
high Importance TO the welfare of society The
numbers which have appeared, cvince talent, and
may be viewed pledge Of tire continued useful
ness of the publication, while conducted by its pre-
sent editors We, therefore, feel no hesitation in
recommending 1t to public patronage.

From the National Standard, NIdd,bury, (ycmon,)
If any desires to live wisely and happily, let
him take the Journal OF Health, and follow its p..'-
cepts.
Above oil Qurckcry, IN the paine5t languagc-it is
filled with words of wisdom. Every mother ought
TO read it. Buy pound less of tea, and take it.
From tho Western Monthly Review, Cincinnati, (Ohio)
We have seen some numbers Of this periodical.
The writing is generally chastc, simple. intcilIgIblc,
pcrsplcuous. or all our earthly physical interests,
II touches infinitely the most important. The max
inns OF wisdom and experience treasured on the sub
Jcct are impaired in words, winch he who runs may
read and understand. There IS family in the
Union, that would not be benefited many times the
price OF its publication, by reading, and PIrPcndng
its contents.
We clear, that, as far as it goes wo have read
no similar work, calculated TO subsCrvc the inter.
csts and we-bcIng Of the community, in relation TO
health, in an equal degrees, and VIC wish that the
prudence and good sense Of the community, may nc.
cord To- this work liberal patronage.
From the New York Evening Iosi.
The Journal Of Health is periodical which VIC al
ways announce with pleasure to readers, on the
appearance Of each number. Its object is
good, and its articles arc good, containing not only
all abundance Of excellent preccpts, hut those so
ngrecaby set forth and illustrated, and in
their character that thcy connot fail to accomplish
what have been pronounced tho two great ends of au
thorship, instruction and amusement. The editors
know how To seize hold OF attention, and win men to
their side They do not attempt TO drive them by
long and tedious ds1nison on abstract points of
medicine; but deal out instead, short practical hints,
and plain rules of conduct which all cal appreciate.

H,sculapIus who conduct this pleasant and useful
hebdorneda! II is one Of the most entertaining nc.
riodicals we have met with and there is tone
Of sincerity and visible adherence Of quackcrv in
ito spirited essays which cannot fail To- recommend IL
10 all cassos of readers The style of il. writers is
pure and classical yet perfectly adapted to the UNI
dsrstandng Of all. Tho object is the prevention OF
discnse rather than prescription for its actual cxis-
tcnce.
The Journal Of Health, No. ~, says the New
York American, IS before us, and its churctcr
amusing and instructive miscellany, written without
pcdantry and free from affccta,ion Of science, is well
sustained. JOHN H. NASH,
