III any one desires To live wisely and happily, let

cepts
Above all qudekery, in the plainest languaee-it is
filled with words Of wisdom. Every mother ought
to read IL Buy pound less of tea, and take it.
From the Western Monthly Review. Cincinnati (oho,)
we have seen some numbers of this periodical.
The writing is generally chaste, simple Ineligible,
perspicuous. OF all our earthly physical interests,
II touches infinitely the most important. The max
ms oil 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, that, far it goes, we have read
no similar work, calculated to subserye the inter

prudence and good sense of the community, may
cord to this work liberal patronage.

long and tedious dlsquisition On abstract points OF
medicine; but deal out, instead, short practical hints
and plain rules of conduct which oil can appreciate
From the Essex Gazette.
journal Of Heaih--Blcssing on the merry sons of
FscuapIus who conduct this pleasant and useful
hebdomeGal 1t is one Of the most entertaining ne
riodicals we have met WITH and there is a tone
Of sincerity md visible adherence of quackery in
its spirited essays which cannot fail to recommend il
to all classes of readers. The style of writer's is
pure and classical, yet perfectly adapted to the I'M
derstanding of all. The object is the prevention of
disease, rather than prescription for it's actual exis
tence.
The Journal Of Health, No. 10, says the New
York American, is before US, and its charcter
amusing and instructive miscellany, written without
Pedantry and free from affectation of science is well
sustained. JOHN III. NASH,
