JOURNAL OF HEALTH.

WYE approve of the plan on which the publication,
w entitled tbe" JOURNAL OF HEALTHY is
conducted and believe that it is calculated to be
fh, by enlightening public opinion a subject of
high importance to the welfare of society. The
numbers which have appeared evnce talent, and
may be viewed pledge of the continued useful
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 ana happily, let
him take the Journal OF Health, and follow its pre-
cepts.
Above all qudekery, the plainest language-it is
filled with words of wisdom. Every mother ought
to read 1t Buy pound less of tea, and take it.
From the Western Monthly Review, Cincinnati, (Ohio)
We have seen some numbers Of this periodical H..
Phe writing generally chastc, simple, ineligible,
perspcuous. OF ALL Our earthly physical interests,
IL touches infinitely the most important The
inns of wisdom and experience, treasured on the sub
Joct, are 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
price OF its publication by reading, and p"rpendng
it's contents.
We are clear, that, as far as it goes we have read
no similar work, calculated to subserve the inter
anu WeI-DelnB OF inc community IN relation 10
health, in an 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 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
on 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 two great ends of au
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 dsquisiton on abstract points Of
medicine; but deal out, instead, short practical hints
and plain rules OF conduct which oil can appreciate.

amusing and instructive miscellany, written without
