The Journal of Health is periodical
winch we always announce with pleasure to
orr readers on the appearance of each sue
cesslve number It's object is good, and its
articles are good, containing not only an
abundance OF excellent precepts, but those
so agreeably set forth and illustrated, and so
various IN their character, that they cannot
fail to accomplish what have been pronounc-
ed the two great ends Of authorship, irstruc-
tlon and amusement. The editors know how
to seize hold of pubck attention, and win
men to their side. They do not attempt to
drive them by long and tedious disquistions
on abstract points of medicine but deal
out, instead, short practical hints, and plain
rules of conduct which all can understand,
and the truth and value of which all can ap-
preciate. The fourteenth number of this
excellent Journal has been placed before us,
and we perceive from cursory glance that
1t contains its usurl variety, and, from the
titles of the articles we should Judge its
usual interest.-.N Y. Eue. Post.
