Health Publications.

Trall's Hygienic Practice. It is said to be "what its name implies—a hand-book of practice, containing the latest and most improved methods of treating all forms of disease. It is condensed, complete, scientific, in cheap form, and the author designed it to supersede all others heretofore written." Price, $1,75. Postage 16 cents.

Jackson on Consumption. Let no one conclude that this work is needed only by the far-gone consumptive. It is just the book for the well man to teach him how to remain well. And those in active life, yet failing somewhat in health, should read it while there is hope of recovery. Price, $2,00. Postage 28 cents.

Eld. J. N. Loughborough, in a note to us May 26th, 1864, says—Dr. Jackson's work on Consumption, which I purchased of you last fall is an excellent work. Although there are some few things in it that I cannot endorse, yet I consider it as free from errors as any medical work I ever read. His practical hints for living have been of great value to me. I would not take one hundred dollars for the information I have derived from the work. By carrying out some of its rules, with the blessing of God, I have added ten per cent. to my health. It is a work I would recommend to all.

Dr. Jackson is an able and intelligent physician, and treats diseases from the only rational point of view; beginning with telling us how to prevent them. He enters into the causes of hereditary consumption, the evils of drug-taking, &c.; and explains the method of cure of which he is one of the ablest advocates. The book, with its fund of information, will be eagerly sought in this insidious climate, where consumption finds so many victims.—Boston True Flag.

The book contains much information on the way to prevent and cure consumption, that would be of great value to the people.—Zion's Herald.

Dr. Jackson is an able and experienced physician, and a man of high character. He knows what CONSUMPTION is; and if that terrible evil can be avoided or cured hereafter, it will be in no light degree owing to his philosophic counsel and advice. His volume is one that should be studied, and studied by all.—Boston Traveler.

We have read it with great interest. It corroborates some views we had previously entertained; it explains others; it suggests new theories on many points. It is a book altogether enriching to the reader, and worth any man's owning and pondering.—Home Journal.

But few can peruse the volume without gaining new ideas with regard to the preservation of health.—New York Tribune.

It is well worthy extensive reading, and will do much good.—Water-cure Journal.

It contains much sound sense well put, and is worthy of being examined by all who are interested in the subject,—a lamentably large number.—Independent.

Jackson on the Sexual Organism.

Price, $1,75. Postage 16 cents.

An honest effort to diffuse useful information. Most popular works on this subject are the reverse of this, and are mere advertisements of quacks.—Plymouth Rock.

It may safely be put into the hands of young people, and parents especially can scarcely fail to be greatly profited by its perusal. They will know all the better how to rear up a healthy, virtuous family.—Chicago Tribune.

The second part of the work, "The Sexual Organism," in our opinion is a work that ought to be read by the young and old of both sexes. The writer (Dr. James C. Jackson) is well known as one of the ablest advocates of the hygienic system of treatment in the United States; and he has given the public, in this volume, practical information that should be known and acted upon by parents and children, the married and single. The doctor deals in no high-sounding technicalities; but his language is simple, clear, chaste and easy to be understood. The chapters devoted to children and their management ought to be read by every mother.—Nunda News, N. Y.
