D., AND HARRIET N. AUSTIN, M. D., Dear Sir and Madam-We came to your institution some months since, destitute of any practical acquaintance with your method of treating disease. We were induced to place ourselves under your care by the influence of others who had been your patients, and who were greatly benefited. During our stay with you we had become acquainted with some very remarkable instances of recovery from diseases which had resisted other modes of treatment. We, ourselves, have experienced much benefit at your hands, and have reason to thank our Heavenly Father, by whose kindness we were directed to "OUR HOME ON THE HILLSIDE." We have seldom failed of attending your frequent lectures, and are impressed with the simplicity of your theory of sickness and health. Having experienced the benefits of the application of this theory to ourselves, and having witnessed the happy effects of its application to many others, we feel it a duty we owe to the sick and suffering to recommend them to trustfully place themselves under your Psycho-Hygienic method of healing.

WALTHAM WATCHES THE Theory of the WALTHAM WATCH Manufacture has always been impregnable. The Hand-made Watch had recommendations as long as machinery was imperfect, and the average of skilled labor low. But good watches, made by hand, were always high-priced; those lower in price were inferior in finish, and almost worthless. The application of MACHINERY got rid of both these drawbacks. It cheapened the cost of the higher grades, and improved the Quality of the lower grades. It thus, for the first time, brought Good Time-Keepers within the reach of ALL The experimental period of the machine-made Watch is now in the past. There were difficulties to be surmounted, prejudices to be overcome. The attainment of the requisite perfection in machinery involved long delays. The development of the requisite skill was necessarily slow, The Waltham Watch is now an Established Success. It runs with the greatest accuracy. It wears well. The longer it is worn, the more it is liked; and the facility with which, in the event of accident, it is repaired, obviates an objection which is felt toward other watches. American enterprise and SKILL have proved their ability to compete with the finest workmanship of hand-labor in the Old World. The Waltham Watch is the Cheapest Watch in the Market. Comparing quality with quality, it is without a rival as to price. The finer qualities are as good as the best imported, and the price is, on the average, twenty per cent. less. The ordinary qualities so much surpass all ordinary imported Watches as to render comparison of prices impossible. In intrinsic cheapness-that is, estimating price according to value, THE WALTHAM WATCH HAS NO COMPETITOR. Tastes vary, and fashions change. While keeping constantly in view the one essential of a good Watch, THE WALTHAM WATCH COMPANY aims at satisfying the various tastes in respect of size, shape, and finish. New Styles are brought out continually-new as to both movement and exterior. Among the latest novelties are the "Crescent-Street" full-plate Watch, specially recommended to Railway Engineers, and constant travelers, and a Small Watch, intended more especially for young persons. The latter is offered at a very low price. The other, THE "CRESCENT-STREET" WATCH, is made with or without stem-winding and setting attachment, and is unsurpassed by any maker. It embraces the best results of many years' study and experience, and is commended to the attention of travelers and business men, who have need of a watch that can be relied upon under ALL conditions. A third Novelty is intended more particularly for foreign markets, where it will stand competition with the small English, or the light Swiss Watch. Of these, and all its other grades, The Waltham Company challenges Examination. The demand for its Watches widens with the knowledge of their EXCELLENCE. For sale by all Jewelers. No Watches retailed by the Company. For further information address ROBBINS & APPLETON, GENERAL AGENTS, I BOND ST., NEW YORK THIS NUMBER.-This month we print | natural vigor of body and mind, energy, vital for our readers the promised Essay of Lord Bacon on Regimen and Health, written about the year 1597, or nearly three hundred years ago. In the present time it would hardly be called an essay, on account of its brevity, but it is for this very reason that Bacon's Essays have always been popular with the people. They come home to their understandings, and touch the heart. It is after all, the essays of Bacon that he is best known by. His greater works have been more talked about, but less read; and while there is much in them that has been superseded by the discoveries of more recent time, yet there is also much exceedingly well said. We have added to the essay the comments upon it by Archbishop Whately, D. D., quite as valuable as the Essay itself. Whately was an ardent admirer of Bacon's works, and was accustomed to write down his thoughts concerning them from time to time. We can not but call attention to Mr. Brigham's paper on Money-getting, as containing more wholesome advice than any thing on this subject that we remember to have seen. We thank our friends for the kindly letters of praise for the Lessons for the Children, and have only to say that the series will be continued during the year. If any of our subscribers can suggest topics for the series, we shall be very glad to have them. We have not space to notice articles further, but hope all will be read, and valuable lessons learned, and new subscribers sert in by every one. Can not each present subscriber get one more ? PERSONAL. ARRIVAL OF MR. J. A. Mow ATT IN NEW YORK.-One of the most recent arrivals in this country is Mr. J. A. Mowatt, late editor of The Irish Temperance Star, published in Dublin, and for many years a prominent newspaper man in Ireland. As a writer and popular platform speaker, Mr. Mowatt was known over the length and breadth of his native land. No man in that country, in later years, has done as much to push forward the Temperance and Prohibitory movements. He was ever ready to meet any opponent in public discussion and debate on every aspect of these questions, and many a medical defender of alcohol has had to regret entering the lists with Mr. Mowatt in arguing the question. An article from his pen in our present issue will show that he is also a strict vegetarian, and is ready to advocate and maintain the truth of those principles on a scientific and rational basis. If ity, capabilities for unwearied exertion be any fair test of the good of Teetotalism and Vegetarianism, then Mr. Mowatt is an excellent specimen of what both can produce. He has lectured for Temperance organizations in different parts of the State of New York and New Jersey since his arrival here, and has every where elicited the most enthusiastic applause. His mode of putting the Temperance and Prohibition questi ons before the public is entirely original-never beating over the old ground. Mr. Mowatt will prove, we are sure, a great help to the cause of reform in this country, and we cordially welcome him with our whole heart, and his whole family, to the New World, and wish them all prosperity and happiness in this land of their adoption. PARTURITION WITHOUT PAIN. The third edition of this book is now ready, and the demand increasing. Few books have been more kindly welcomed by the entire press. The following from The Troy Times is about a fair sample of hundreds of others. It says: "This little volume lays no claim to new discovery, or to originality. But it is the compilation of the best information and the wisest experience concerning the subject of which it treats. Ncwhere is such information and experience more needed than in the reproduction of human beings. What care, labor, and inquiry are spent in breeding and raising the best calves and colts, even the best chickens and goslings. But babies come in tribulation and grow as well as they can, or die prematurely. The calves have the best chance. This is all wrong. How wrong, the book tells; how it may be remedied it also tells, plainly, delicately, and profitably for such as will listen to its counsels. Give the little ones a fair chance in the world. It will not be so difficult to save souls then as it is now." Price, by mail, $1.00. The Essay on the Care of Children alone is worth its price. WORDS OF CHEER.-"I wish to make my pastor a present, please send THE HERALD OF HEALTH to him for 1872. Truly, W. J. CRAW."
