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

If any one desires to live wisely and happily, let
him take the Journal of Health, and follow it's pre-
cepts.
Above all qlactery, IN the plainest anguage-t is
filled with words of wisdom. Every mother ought
to read it. Buy pound less of tea, and take it,
IRE From the Western Monthly Review, CINCINNATI (OhIo)
We have seen some numbers of this periodical.
The writing is generally chaste, simple, ineligible,
pcrspicuous. OF all earthly physical interests,
it touches infinitely the most important The max
inns OF wisdom and experience, treasured on the sub
Ject, arc impaired in words, which he who runs may
read and understand. There is family in the
Union, that would not be benefited many times the
prceof its publication, by reading, and perpending
its contents.
We are clear, that, far il goes, we have read
no similar work, calculated to subserve the inter.
este and well-being OF the community IN relation to
health, in al equal degrees, and we wish that the
prudence and good sense of the community, may &C
cord to this work liberal patronage.
ID. From the New York Evening Post.
The Journal Of Health is periodical which we al
ways announce with pleasure to readers, on the
appearance Of each successive number. Its object is
good and its articles good, containing not only
an abundance Of excellent prcccpts, but those so
ogreeaby set forth and illustrated, and in
their character, that they connot fail to accomplish
what have been pronounced the two great ends of au
thorshp, instruction and amusement The editors
know how to seize hold Of attention, and win to
their side. They do not nttompt TO drive them by
long and tedious disquistion 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 Misunderstanding on The merry sons of
Esculapius who conduct this pleasant and useful
hebdomedall II is one Of the entertaining pc
riodicals we have ever mot with; aud there is tone
Of sincerity and visible adherence of quackery in
its spirited essays, which cannot fail TO recommend il
to all classes Of readers The style Of its writerg is
pure and classical yet perfectly adapted to the I'M
derHtandng of all The object is the.preventioD of
disease, rather than prescription for its actual exis-
tence.
The Journal Of Health, No. 70, says the New
York Americans IS before us, and its charctcr as on
amusing and instructive miscellany, written without
pedan,ry and ffoc from aoclation of science, well
sustained. JOHN III. NASH,
