George Vickers, Strand, London, 1850, 1851. "The purpose of this periodical is to diffuse popular knowledge on the laws of Health and Disease ; to instruct how the one may be preserved, the other removed ; to improve the sanitary condition, and add to the well-being, of the Industrious Classes ; to afford competent and legitimate advice to the Invalid ; to spare his purse, and lessen the unjust gains of the extorting quack and the advertising pill-vendor." Richly didactic. 46 issues from Jan 1850 to July 1851: Nos 1-15 of Vol I; Nos 27-33, 41-42, 45-46, and 50-52 of Vol II; Nos 53-58, 60-66, and 68-70 of Vol III; and No 81 of Vol IV.
