Richmond, Nov. 1 4/A, 1829. 11*3* JOURNAL OF HEALTH: CONDUCTED BT AN ASSOCIATION OF PHYSICIANS. FOR The information of tbeir medical bra tbrcn, whose assistance they invoke, and of the public at large, for whom the work is mainly intended—the conductors of the Journal or Health deem it proper to state with brevity, the aim and scope of tbeir efforts. Deeply impressed with a belief, that man* kind might be saved a large amount of suffering and diseases, by a suitable knowledge of the natural laws to which the human frame is subject, they propose laying down plain precepts, in easy style and familiar language, for the regulation of all the physical agents necessary to he to point out under what circumstances of excess or misapplication they become injurious and fatal. The properties of the air, in its several states vs beat, coldness, dryness, and electricity; the. relative effects of the different articles of solid find liquid aliment—the manner in which the locomotive organs, senses, and bruin, are most beneficially exercised, and how, and under what -circumstances, morbidly impressed—clothing, for protection against atmospherical vicissitudes, and a cause of disease, when under the direction of absurd fashions—bathing and frictions, and the use of mineral waters, —shall be prominent topics for inquiry and investigation -in this Journal.

The modifying influence of climate and localities—legislation, national and corporate, on health—a branch of study usually designated by the term Medical Police,—will furnish Subjects fraught with instruction, not less than amusing and curious research. ! The value of dietic rules shall be continually enforced, and the blessings of temperance dwelt on, with emphasis proportionate to their high importance and deplorable neglect. Physical education—so momentous a question for the Jives of children, and happiness of their parents,—shall be discussed in a spirit of impartiality, and with the aid of all the data which have been furnished by enlightened experience. The Journal of Health will on all occasions be found in opposition to empiricism—whether it be in the form of nursery gossip, mendacious reports of nostrum makers and venders, or recommendations of even scientifically - compounded prescriptions, without the special direction of a physician—the only competent judge, in the individual case of disease under bis care. The prevention of diseases arieing out of the practice of the different professions, arts, and trades, will be laid down with clearness and precision—nor shall the situation of those engaged in naval and military life, be overlooked in this branch of the subject. Divested of professional language and details, and varied in its contents, the Journal of Health will, it is hoped, engage the attention and favour of the female reader, whose amusement and instruction shall constantly be kept in view daring the prosecution of the work. TERMS. The Journal or Health will appear in Numbers of 16 pages each, octavo, on the second and fourth Wednesdaysof every month. Price, per annum, $1 25, in advance.

PROSPECTUS. THE WILL REPUBLISHED, 4* HERETOFORE, TWICE A WEEK, DURING THE ENSUING SESSION OP THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. IT n known to the public generally, that the Indiana Joubnal wai published twice a week during the last session of the General Assembly, this was the first and ouly attempt which had been made, in the state of Indiana, to issue a newspaper more than once a week. Avery considerable additional expease, above the ordinary expendirure of a weekly paper, was necessarily incuned by tbe semi-weekly publication. Encouraged, however, by the (ib era! patronage which was afforded on that occasion; flattered by the generalsatisfaction with whiob the effort was regarded, and anxious to continue to afford the fullest and earliest intel. ligenoe of the Legislative proceedings, we have been induced again to undertake the task—and we do so with every confidence of an increase of patronage, and of presenting additional claims to support. The time, it is confidently believed, bat arrived, when a publication of this kind—through the medium of which only a full and fair account of tbe proceedings of our General Assembly can be conveyed to the public—will be sustained without being burdensome to tne publishers. The honour of the state, aud the interest of the people, alike demand such a publication. -In regard to the accomplishment of the proposed undertaking, we c?n only pledge ourselves that every possible exertion will be made to meet the public expectation. For a sample of tbe manner in wbictr the proceedings will be reported, reference is made to our semi-weekly publication of last winter. By additional experience, snd an increase of exertion, wo hope to discharge our duty still more satisfactorily. Important documents, reports of committees on subjects of general interest, and as full a sketch of the debates as our limits will allow, will be speedily and carefully inserted. It was onr intention, some time ago, to enlarge our paper to an imperial sice, and publish but once a week as usual. Further reflection, however, has convinced us, that the proposed plan of issuing twice a week will be much more satisfactory to tbe public, although expensive to us. By this plan we will not ocly be eoabled to publish nearly twice as much ter, but we can also disseminate it much earlier. It is still our intention, as soon as practicable, to issue our weekly paper on an imperial sheet. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPriON. To those who enter by the year, no increase will be made on <he present subscription price, which is Two IWrcM* in advance, Two Dollars and Kiftf Cents at the end of 6 months, or I'hreb Dollars at the end of the year. For three months, including the Session, the prioe wHIBeONi Doll ar and during the Si-*, tion only, Srvxntt five Cents— to be paid in both instances at the time of subscribing, or during the sessioo of the Legislature; which it is believed may be generally effected through member* and others, whose business will require their attendance at the seat of government during the session. Particular attention will be paid to forwardin'; papers according to direction. . DOftGLASS ft MAGUIRE, Editor*. Indianapolis, October 42, 1849. 10 brims received at this ottoe.
