THE great want Of the age is heah-the normal and
/ harmonious action of all the elements Of our being,
physical Intellectual and social This want finds its
satisfaction and this demand its supply in knowledge
of tho Laws of Life true Physiology the Nature
and Causes Of Disease q true Pathology; the modes
of fPurRcation and Invigoration, or true System Of
Medical Practice. These and kindred subjects, eoDs
tuting the Philosophy Of Health, and comprising the
Laws Of Physical Moral and Intellectual Development
are the especial sphere of the Water Cure Journal but
all that can promote the great design of numan happi
may be included under its subtitle OF Herald OF
Reforms.
Our platform is broad one, and our Plan VI Opera
tons comprehensive. All subjects connected with Diet,
Exercise Cleanliness Ventilation, Dwellings, Clothing
Education Occupations Amusements, and Social Re a.
tions-a the elements which combine to make up that
complex thing called Life, will be clearly presented.
Hydropathy will be fully unfOded, and so explained
that all may apply in various diseases those not
eurable by any other means. The Water-Cnre is not
equal ed by any other mode Of teameR in those pecu
liar complaints common only to women. The Water
Cure Journal will contain such advice and practicalin.
structiOn as may be considered most important In all
these critical yet unavoidable cases.

is not desirable unless remedy can be found II will
be part # duty to teach the world how to preserve
health as well as disease.

fe and in our social institutions will be pointed out
and made so plain that "he who runs may read" We
believe fully, that man may prOlong his life much be-
yond the number Ofyears usually attained. We propose
to show how.

for the treatment Of ordinary cases at Home which will
enable all who have OCCASION to apply without the aid
