![[From the Christian World.] The Philosophy of Health ; a Treatise on the Laws of the Human System. By L. B. Coles, M. D. We cannot be too often ur^ed to look at the sub- ject which the author of this little work has so care- lully and judiciously unfolded. If his system is the true one, for the early care of children — and we are very much inclined to believe that it is — then most of the nursery discipline and maternal management of our day are very faulty. We incline to this opin- ion the more strongly, because the results of experi- ence are coincident with what our author lays down as the sure consequence of so much of the misman- agement of infants and young children. There are valuable hints and directions to parents, and young persons of both sexes, which cannot fail of doing good, wherever they are appreciated and obeyed. [Prom the Christiaa Watchman.] The writer of the treatise which we noticed some weeks ago, on the Philosophy of Health, has add- ed an Appendix to the second edition, on the Phi- losophy of Reaithy Reproduction,'' in which a subject of much importance to parents, present or prospec- tive, is treated with becoming delicacy ; a perusal of which ought to prevent some of the evils often entail- ed by ignorance and passion on children, and chil- dren's children, to the fourth generation. [From Zion's Herald.] Philosophy of Health, by Dr. Coles. We have noticed before this valuable little treatise ; but the present edition contains a valuable Appendix on the Philosophy of Healthy Reproduction, which we cannot but emphatically commend. It avoids every- thing that the most fastidious could consider excep- tionable, and abounds in most valuable counsels. The book, as a whole, combines a remarkable amount of useful information in a small compass.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21686452_0126.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
