    A »• York, January 21, 1830. Judging1 from ,th'e first nine numbers of the Journal of Health, I have formed a very Favourable opinion of its utility, as a popu- lar work; and cheerfully recommend it to the patronage of the public. ALEX. H. STEVENS, M. D. Professor of Surgery in the College of Phy- sicians and Surgeons of New York. I have read with much interest the first nine numbers of the Journal of Health, and it gives me pleasure to say, that, in my opinion, it possesses more merit, and is bet- ter calculated to enlighten the public mind on the subject of health, without the haz- ard of inculcating- error, than any popular work I have seen on the subiect of Medi- cine. A. W. IVES, M. D. New York, Park Place, Jan. 11,1830. We approve of the plan on which the publication, entitled the JOURNAL OF HEALTH, is conducted, and believe that it is calculated to be useful, by enlightening public opinion on a subject of high impor- tance to the welfare of society. The num- bers which have appeared, evince talent and may be viewed as a pledge of the co tinued usefulness of the publication, whil conducted by its present editors. We, therefore, feel no hesitation in recommend ing it to public patronage. Philadelphia, Oct. 13,1829. N Chapman, M.D \ Professors in the Wm.P. Dewees, MB f jfniverslt of Thomas CJames,ML\ I p Jn/fl.

Plymouth, March 17, 1830. Gentlemen,—This work is in my opinion fraught with interest to the community at large, as well as to families and individuals. It is well calculated to carry important in- formation into the domestic circle .where it must prove of the greatest utility. It dis- seminates a species of knowledge of daily application in domestic life, which can sel- dom be derived from any other source. The work is well adapted to the benevolent pur- pose of warning parents and other individ- uals against the dangerous consequences resulting from the use of ponderous medi- cine in family practice, without medical ad- It will, I hope and trust, have a ary tendency to guard the public the horrid evils of empirical prac- latanry, and nostrum vending In fact,^Hfconsider the Journal of Health, a work of considerable merit, honourable to the benevolent association by whom it is conducted, and deserving of the applause of the public. I shall take pleasure in pro- moting its diffusion in this quarter, by mak- ing extracts from it for our newspapers. JAMES THACHEK, M. D. EFFECTS OF ARTS AND TRADES.
