Indeed, there is almost an infinite variety of character in the subjects chosen by different writers, and adapted to the varied tastes and wants of a diversified world; but, from religion, down to the most gro velling topic, there is but one theme that possesses a charm in its name and import - vibrates on every heart, and addresses every taste and turn of mind, from the devout religionist to the confirmed materialist, from the rich to the poor, the learned and the ignorant; that theme is the health of the human body.
While every son and daughter of Adam continues to possess one common organization, and remain under one and the same set of laws; and while they all continue to feel in their bodies the effects of the fall, so long will there be a perpetual exposure to some variety or other of the physical woes, that, in their turn, afflict our fallen race; and, consequently, while the love of life or the fear of death, the desire of ease and dread of pain, hold their empire over man, so long will the subject of human health be important and interesting to all alike.
