From the Western Monthly Review, Cincinnati, (OhIo)
We have seen some numbers Of this periodical.
The writing is generally chastc simple, intellIgibc,
prosperous. OF all our earthly physical interests,
II 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. Thore IS family IN the
Union, that would not be benefited many times the
price OF its publication, by reading, and parpcnding
its contents.
we are clear, that, far il goes, VIC have read
ests and weIl-beng of tho community in relation to
health, in AL equal degrees, and we wish that the
prudence and good sense of the community, may
cord to this work liberal patronage.

Ihe Journal Of Health is periodical which we al
ways announce with pleasure to our readers, the
appearance Of each successive number Its object is
good, and its articles good, containing not only
All abundance of excellent preCcpts, but those so
agreeaby set forth and illustrated and in
their character, that they connot fail to accomplish
what have been pronounced the two gfea; ends ofau
thorshlp, instruction and amusement. The editors
know how to seize hold Of attention, and win to
their side. They do not attempt to drive them by
long and tedious dIsquison on abstract points of
incidence but deal out instead, short practical hints
and plain rules of conduct which oil can APPRECIATE

TO all classes of readers. The style of its writers is
pure and classical yet perfectly adapted to the un-

amusing and instructive miscellany, written without
pedanry and free from aifeclaon of science, is well
sustained. JOHN III. NASH,
