w entitled the JOURNAL OF HEALTH" is
conducted, and believe that 1t is calculated to be
iul, by enhghtenng public opinion on subject OF
high Importance to the welfare of society. The
numbers which have appeared, evnce talent, and
may be viewed a pledge of the continued useful
of the publication, while conducted 10y rs pre-
sent editors We, therefore. feel hesitation in
recommending it TO public patronage.

From the National Standard Middlcbury vermont
If any desires to live wisely and happily, let
him take the Journal OF Health, and follow its pre-
cepts,
Above oil guackery, in the planest languuge-it is
filled with words of wisdom. Every mother ought
to read it Buy pound less of tea, and take 1t.
From the Western Monthly Review, Cincinnati, loho)
we have seen some numbers OF this periodical
The writing generally chaste, simple intchglblr,
perspicuous. OF all our earthly physical interests
it touches infinitely the most important. The max
inns of wisdom and experience, treasured on The sub
jcct, are impaired in words, which he who runs may
read and understand. There is family IN the
Union, TINT would not be benefited many times the
price OF its publication, by reading and prpcndng
its contents.
We are clenr that, as far 1t goes, We have read
similar work. calculated to subserve the inter
csts and well-beng Of the community in relation TO
health, in an equal degrees, and VIC with that the
prudence and good sense of the community, may
cord to this work liberal patronage.
From the New York Evening Post.
Be Journal IF HediM is periodical which we al
ways announce with pleasure to our readers, on the
appearance Of each number. Its object Is
good, and It's articles are good, containing not only
ali abundance Of excellent precepts, but those 80
agreeaby set forth and illustrated, and so various IN
their Character, that they connot la TO accomplish
what have been pronounced the two great ends of au-
thorshIp instruction and amusement The editors
know how TO seize hold of attention, and win
their side They do not attempt to drive them by
long and tedious dlsquisition on abstract points of
medicine; but deal out, instcnd short practical hints,
and plain rules of conduct which all can appreciate.

,Jou nal of HeaHh.--BIcssing on tho merry sons oC
Esculapus who conduct this pleasant and useful
hebdomedal! n rs one uf the most entertaining pc
riodcas we have ever met with; and there is tone
Of sincerity and a visible adherence of qnackery in
it's spirited essays which cannot fail 10 recommend It
TO all classes of readers The style Of its writer's is
pure and classical, yet perfectly adapted TO the
derstonding Of all The object is the prevention of
diseasc, rather than prescription for tie actual exis-
tcncc.
The Journal Of Health, No. 10, says the New
York American is before us, and its character as an
amusing and instructive miscellany, written without
pedantry and free from aectation of science, is well
sustained. JOHN II. NASH,
