OF HEALTH.

WYE approve OF the plan on which the publication,
w entitled the "JOURNAL OF HEALTH" is
conducted, and believe that it is calculated to be use
full, by enlightening public opinion on a subject of
high Importance TO the welfare of society. The
numbers which have appeared, cvince talent, and
may be viewed as pledge of the continued useful
ness of the publications, while conducted by its pre-
sent editors We, therefore. feel no hesitation IN
recommending it to public patronage.

From the National Standard, Middlebury, (Nermont)
IF any one desires to live wisely und happily, let
him take the Journal of Health, and follow its pre-
cepts.
Above oil quackery, in the plainest language-it is
filled with words of wisdom. Every mother ought
TO read it. Buy a pound less of tea, and take II.
From the Western Monthly Review, Cincinnati, Cohio)
We have seen some numbers OF this periodical.
The writing is generally csaste, simple, Ineligible,
perspicuous. Or all our earthly physical interests,
it touches infinitely the most important. The max
inns OF wisdom and experience, treasured on the sub
iect, are impaired in words, which he who runs may
read and Understand. There is no family 10 the
Union, that would not be benefited many times the
price of its publication, by reading, and pcrpending
its contents.
We are clear, that, as far as il goes, we haye read

ests and well-being Of the community in relation to
health, in an equal degrees, and we wish that the
prudence and good sense of the community, may &C.
cord to this work a liberal patronage.
From the New York Evening Post.
The Journal Of Health is a periodical which wo al
ways announce with pleasure TO our rea6ers, OH the
appearance of each successive number. Its object IS
good, and its articles arc good, continuing not only
an abundance of excellent precepts, but those SO
agreeably set forth and illustrated, and so various in
their character, that they connot fail TO accomplish
what have been pronounced the two great ends ofGn-
thorship, instruction end amusement. The editors
know how to. oeizc hold OF attention, and win men to
their side They do not attempt To drive them by
long and tedious dlsquisition on nbstrnct points of
rnedieine; but deal out, instead, short practical hints,
and plain rules of conduct which oil can appreciate.
Al From the Essex Gazette.
.Jou, nal Of Misunderstanding OH tho merry sons Of
.Isculaplus who conduct this pleasant aud useful
hebdomedall II is one of the most entertaining pc
riodicals we have ever met with; and there Is a tone
of sincerity and a visible abhortcnce OF ~quackciy in
its spirlted essays, IS hich cannot fail to recommend it
TO ali classes of readers. The style of its writers is
pure and classical, yet perfectly adapted to the un-
derstanding>of all, The object is the prevention of
disease, rather than prescription for its actual cxis-
tcnce.
The Journal OF Health, No., ~, says the New
York American, is before us, aud it's character as an
amusing and instructive miscellany, written without
pedsntry and FREQ from aifeclation of science, Is well
sustained. JOHN III. NASH,
