JOURNAL OF HEALTH.

WE 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
ful, by enllghtening public opinion ON subject OF
high importance TO the welfare OF society. The
numbers which have appeared, cvnce talent, ana
may be viewed pledge OF the continued useful
ness of the publication, while condLct by ITS pre-
sent editors We, therefore. feel no hesitation IN
recommending it to public patronage
