JOURNAL OF HEALTH.

WE approve of the plan which the publication,
w entitled the"JOURNAL OF HEALTH" is
conducted and believe that it is calculated to be
full, by enlghtening public opinion on subject Of
high importance to the welfare of society. The
numbers which have appeared, evince talent, and
may be viewed a 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 public patronage.

From the National Standard, Middlebury, (vemon,)
If any one desires to live wisely and happily, let
him take the Journal Of Health, and follow its pre-
cepts.
Above all quaekery, in the plainest language-it is
filled with words Of wisdom. Every mother ought
to read it. Buy pound less of tea, and take It.
From the Western Monthly Review, Cincinnati, (Omo)
We have seen some numbers of this periodical
The writing is generally chaste, simple, lntelgble
perspicuous OF all our earthly physical interests,
il touches infinitely the most important. The max
inns Of wisdom and experience treasured on the sub
ject, are impaired in words, which he who runs 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 pcrpendng
its contents.
We are clear, that, far it goes, VIC have read
no similar work. so calculated TO subserve the inter
ests and we'll being of the community in relation to
health, in an equal degrees, and 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 periodical which we al
ways announce with pleasure to our readers, on the
appearance of each successive number Its object is
good and its articles good, containing not only
an abundance of excellent precepts, but those 80
agreeably set forth and illustrated, and various in
their character, that they come iall to accomplish
what have been Prono.ccd the great ends OF au-
thorship, instruction and amusement. The editors
anow how to seize hold Of attention. and win to
their side. They do not attempt to drive them by
long and tedious dsquistion on abstract points Of
medicines but deal out, instead short practical hints
and plain rules Of conduct which oil can appreciate
From the Essex Gazette.
Journal Of Misunderstanding on the merry sons Of
Esculapus who conduct this pleasant and useful
hebdomedall II is Of the most entertaining pc
riodcas we have ever mot with; and there is tone
of sincerity and visible adherence Of quackery in
its spirited essays which cannot fail to recommend It
10 all classes Of readers The style Of its writers is
pure and classical yet perfectly adapted to the I'M
derstandlnu of ALL The object is the prevention OF
disease, rather than prescription for it's actual exs-
tencc.
The Journal of Health, No. io, says tho New
York American, before us, and its Character as on
amusing and instructive miscellany, written without
pcdonry and free from affeclntion Of science is well
