JOURNAL OF HEALTH.

VKTE approve Of the plan on which the publication,
w entitled the JOURNAL OF HEALTH" is
conducted and believe that It is calculated to be use
full, by enlghtenng 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, Vermont)
If any desires to live wisely and happily, let
him take the Journal OF Health, and follow its pre-
cepts.
Above all quackery, in the plainest anguuse-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, (Ohio)
We have seen some numbers OF this periodical.
The writing generally chastc, simple, intelligbc,
perspcuous OF all our earthly physical interests,
it touches infinitely the most important The max
inns OF wisdom and experience, treasured on the sub
ect. 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 it's publication by reading, and p"rPending
its contents.
We are clear that, as far as it goes, we have read
no similar work. so calculated to subserve the inter
csts and we'll being of the community in relation to
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 so al
ways with pleasure to our roacers, on the
appearance Of each number. Its object is
good, and its articles arc good containing not only
all abundance of excellent precepts, but those so
agreeaby set forth and illustrated, and so various in
their character, that they connot fail to accomplish
what have been pronounced the great ends ofau-
thorship, instruction and amusement. The editors
know how TO seize hold Of attention. and win men to
their side. They do not attempt to drive them by
long and tedious dIsquisitlon abstract points of
medicines but deal out, instead, short practical hints,
and plain rules of conduct which all can appreciate.
From the Essex Gazette
Journal of misunderstanding the merry sons Of
F,sculapIus who conduct this pleasant and useful
hebdumeGal! II is one Of the most entertaining pc
riodcals we have ever met with; and there is tone
of sincerity and a visible adherence Of quackory in
it's spirited essays which cannot fail to recommend It
TO all classes Of readers The style of its writers is
pure and CLASSICAL yet perfectly adapted to the I'M
derstandIng Of all Tho object is the prevention of
disease, rather than prescription for its actual exs-
tcnce.
The Journal Of Health, No 10, says the New
York American, is before U.S. and It's charcter as ON
pedanry and free from sfecaton of science is well
