JOURNAL OF HEALTH.


w entitled the 'JOURNAL OF HEALTH" is
conducted and believe that 1t is calculated to be
fnl, by enlightenng public opinion on subject of
high importance to the welfare of society. The
numbers which have appeared, evince talent, and
may be viewed pledge of the continued useful
ness Of the publication while conducted by its pre-
sent editors We, therefore. feel no hesitation in
recommending it to pu bile patronage.

From the National Standard Middlebury, (vcrmont)
If any one desires to live wisely and happily, let
him take the Journal OF Health, and follow its pre-
cepts. - 74st ~
Above all quaetcry, in the plainest apguuge-it is
filled with words of wisdom. Every mother ought
y to read il. Buy pound less of tea, and lake it.
From the Western Monthly Review, CINCINNATI (OhIo)
We have seen some numbers of this periodical
The writing 10 generally chaste, simple, ntelgble,
perspcuous. Of all earthly physical interests,
it touches infinitely the most important The max
inns OF wisdom and experience, treasured on the sub
ject, are impaired in words, Which he who may
read and understand. There IS no family in the
Union that would not be benefited many times the
price OF its publication by reading, and perpending
its contents.
We are clear, fhat, as far as it goes wo have read
no similar work, calculated to subscryc the inter
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
cord TO this work liberal patronage.
From the New York Evening Post
Dhe journal Of Health is periodical which we al
ways announce with pleasure to readers, the
appearance of each successive number Its object is
good, and its articles good, containing not oOly
an abundance of excellent prccepts, but those so
agrceaby set forth and illustrated and various in
their character that they connot fail to accomplish
what have been pronounced the two great ends ofau
thorsbip, instruction and amusement. The editors
know how to seize hold of attention, and wiz men to
their side. They do not attempt to drive them by
long and tedious dsqulsiton on abstract points of
medicine; but deal out instead, short practical hints
and plain rules Of conduct which all can appreciate
From the Essex Gazette,
.youl nal of Misunderstanding the merry sons oi
E.sculapius who conduct this pleasant and useful
hebdomeda II is one Of the most entertaining PC
rodicsls we have eyer met with; and there is tone
of sincerity and visible adherence of quackery in
it's spirited essays, which cannot fail TO recommend ii
TO all classes of renders The style of its writers is
pure and classical yet perfectly adapted TO the
derstandlng of ALL The object is the prevention oil
dseuse, rather than prescription for its actual exis
tence.
The Journal of HEALTH No. ~, says the New
York American, is before us, and its charctor
amusing and instructive miscellany, written without
pcdnntry and free from affecation Of SCIENCE is wei
