![[From the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.J This is a small treatise on a great subject. Its title is, Philosophy of Health, or Health without Medicine — a Treatise on the Laws of the Human System. By L. B. Coles, M. D. He inculcates many excellent things, which, properly observed, would lead the way to a pleasant old age, free from the infirmities that have their origin in a violation of the physiological laws. Ticknor & Co. are the pub- lishers, who will unquestionably give an activity to its distribution over the literary world. [From the Journal of Health.] We rejoice in the publication of this work, for more reasons than one. First, Because the writer has ad- vocated the same subject for which this Journal was started, and in which it has been engaged more than two years. Second, Because we see by his statement in the title page that he is a regular man, a Fellow of the Massachusetts Medical Society ; and we love to see the members of a Society so respectable, and which has such vast weight on the physical welfare of the community, speaking out on these subjects. Third, Because it advocates, in our opinion, the true ground of our obligation to the laws of our being, which are the laws of God. [From Dr. Wm. A. Alcott —Author of The Young Man's Guide, &c., &c.] AuBURNDALE, West Newton, Ms., Oct. 4, 1848, L. B. Coles, M. D. Dear Sir : To one who has labored, by pen or tongue, for more than a quarter of a century, to disseminate the same great laws of Health to which your own mind has been led, the appearance of a small manual, adapted to the wants of every family, cannot but be hailed with delight. I do most cordially wish to •have it read, universally. Your fellow-laborer, Wm. a. Alcott.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21686452_0125.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
