From the National Standard, Nlddebury, (vemont)
If any one desires to live wisely and happily let
him take the Journal of Health and follow It's pre-
ccpts.
Above all qudekery, IN the pIainesl ianguu5c-it IS
filled with words OF wisdom. Every mother ought
to read it, Buy n pound less of tea, and take it.
From tho Western Monthly Review, Cincinnati, (oho)
We have seen come numbers OF this periodical
The writing is generally chastc, simple, inteligIole
pcrspicuous. or all earthly physical interests,
il touches infinitely tho most important. The max
inns of wisdom and experience treasured on the sub
icct, impaired in words, which he who runs may
read and understand. There is no family III the
Union, tliot would not be benefited many times the
price of its publication, by reading and p1rpending
its contents
We arc clear, that, as far us il goes, we hnvo read
similar work, calculated to subserve tho inter
"
health, in equal degrees, and we 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 announce with pleasure TO rcaders, oil the
appearance of each successive number Its object IS
good, and it's articles good, containing not only
nn abundance of excellent prccepts, but those so
ugreeably set forth and illustrated and so various in
their character, that they connot fail to accomplish
what have been pronounced the two greet ends ofau-
thOrship, instruction and amusement. The editors
know how TO seize hold Of attention, ond win men To
their SIDE They do not attempt To drive them by
long and tedious disquisiton abstract points OF
medicines but deal out, instead, short practical hints
and plain rules 0f conduct which all appreciate.
From the Essex Gazette
.Jour nal Of Heahh.--Bossing on the merry sons of
Hisculaplus who conduct this pleasant aud useful
hebdomedal! II is Of the most entertaining po-
rodicals we have ever met with; and there is tone
Of sincerity and visible adherence of quackery in

TO all classes of readers The style Of It's writer's is
pure and classical yet perfectly adapted TO the I'M
derstondng of all The object is the prevention OF
disease, rnthor than prescription for its actual exis
tcncc.
The Journal Of Health, No. ~, says tho New
York American, is before us, and its charctor as
amusing and instructive miscellany, written without
pedantry and free from allcctation Of science, well
sustained. JOHN ii. NASH,
